Can we chat about public co audits? How many firms or individual audit partners are reducing books or avoiding public company audit work altogether?

Guessing this question is coming from non-big 4 firm partner, for mid tier this is a significant cost and investment to do public company audits, OP—may want to clarify non-big 4 in post for relevant insights

Correct. Should have asked non b4. Obviously b4 is not going to drop this practice.

Marcum is reducing! SEC and PCAOB are helping with that strategy!

At B4 as an audit partner I’m definitely not avoiding public jobs if I want to keep moving up the ladder.

I don’t see any B4 avoiding public co audits

Seems like “reducing book” or “avoiding” work is a hard way to move forward in your career. I certainly wouldn’t mind never getting inspected by PCAOB ever again. But hard to compete without it. I could see if you’re at a small firm avoiding taking on this work. But if you are a top 30ish firm with a sizable audit practice it seems hard to avoid unless you are in some niche markets like government or something.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Sort of feel its a job more geared to folks who never worked in law before.
