Yes. Best two weeks of my whole career.

Yep - it’s not that bad if the visiting auditor is chill

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on getting to the same company but in a different country. I had an internship at multinational FMCG company in purchasing in country 1 (5 ys ago). I then went studying abroad to country 2 and stayed doing the jobs which came with the visa - sales/accounting/marketing but all for really small companies (20 e-s max). I keep dreaming about getting back to FMCG co but in country 2. Applied directly/chatted to ex coworkers in country 1 - no luck. Any advice?

Birthday plan (place to go and place to eat) suggestions for my husband? Been together a long time. We recently went to Cote for a nice dinner but that is something along the lines of what we like to do.

We are new to the city and I am at a loss with all the options. We are young, in our v early 30’s. Open to Soho, Brooklyn, FiDi, Midtown.

When you test a GL account cause the balance is in-scope. Do you net the untested debits and credits together to determine if acceptably low? Or is it determined by untested debits being below PM and untested credits being below PM?
I have not gotten a consistent answer and seen it both ways in practice.
