As independence is heavily scrutinized in audit (and tax/advisory), what types of sidegigs have you seen Big4 firms approve? KPMG uses an example of “teaching a fitness class” in the annual independence confirmation as to what all requires approval (basically any and everything). I’ve dabbled in wedding planning. Is this likely to be approved? Exactly what all information does the firm ask you when you’re seeking approval for a side gig?

From what I’ve heard, as long as you’re not offering services that compete with your firm you’ll be okay.

I'd say it's likely to be approved. I'd just put in the request. Everything has to be approved
