Anyone have any good audit jokes or one liners?
Could anyone kindly tell me about the Investment Management and Private Equity Audit Group at Deloitte? 1. Work Life Balance (Is it worst than the ordinary Big 4 WLB?) 2. Is it an entirely different audit from commercial/retail audits (think account balances etc.) 3. Difficult to learn how to audit clients in this industry without prior experience in the industry?(been doing commercial audits for 3 years) 4. Are there relatively good exit opportunities for this audit group? Deloitte PwC EY
Just signed the outside employment form in KPMG onboarding system. I actually wanted to start dabbling in creative writing as a potentially monetizable hobby, but I'm guessing this may pose issues.
Definitely interested in the "exception from this policy may be requested if provision of non-professional services doesn't interfere with one's duties of causes conflict of interest" clause, though. Has anyone been able to get one of those before?

I have always felt I have a high degree of job security and continue to feel that way. But that if course won't be true for everyone, especially low performers and lower levels. The reality is, low performers are the first to go during wavering economic times. Others though remain in need even if there is lower productivity because when things rebound there is need to have people to put in play immediately that already know policies, systems, etc.
There is a scale performance that I’m not sure many people really understand. Well-liked “high” performers that play the politics, have conversations with local leadership regularly will not be let go over the “high” performer who doesn’t. In-office consistency is also a metric used by the decision makers, fyi 🤷♀️
Very true. With offshoring accounting is becoming less safe
Yes it is lol. How many years of experience do you have?
Couldn’t disagree more. I would argue it’s not a career worth going into, but even in the US it’s extremely safe and not going anywhere for years.
Audit is a respectable career and job.
Really feel like the partners are looting the firm with the AC stuff. Really taking a sledge hammer to the eco-system of accounting. Like how are we going to train us based staff if we remove the associate level and put it in India…. Would not be surprised if US accounting industry shifts to India if the gov doesn’t step in.
