Do other Big 4 have obscene levels of financial disclosure required for "independence?" I'm talking big brother type shit for Manager level and above.

I (managers and above) have to report auto insurance policies, home mortgages, checking, savings, any credit cards with balance >$0.00. I'm not talking brokerage / securities info, I'm talking any and every financial relationship you can think of has to be reported.

At EY it doesn't matter if you are a manager or what office you're in, you can't hold it no matter what (non negotiable). It's the pits

Same. Plus my wife and any dependents.

Yeah I just got a letter to declare all my loans. Regardless of what they are... I felt like they trying to dock ppl for independence ahead of bonuses

Good call, EY 3. Email I got says I have until July 8th to clean up. Same for you??

Same with PwC

I got shit about not reporting my title insurance. I didn't know I had it and I still don't know what it is.

Hahaah what is title insurance and how did they find out?

Seriously. How does EY know this shit?? My counselor said they don't know but assume people have certain relationships (eg title insurance if you have a mortgage, checking account if you have direct deposit, etc). There is a choice to put "no financial relationship" and they likely would never know for certain things.

International tax manager with 7 years experience all at KPMG. Thinking about switching to industry to see it from a new perspective and do similar work from a different angle. How do you successfully transfer B4 skills/experience to industry (how do you find the right fit?), and how do you continue to learn and build your skills so that you’re still marketable and could boomerang back if it doesn’t work out in a few years? Am I asking too much?

I interviewed at KPMG on 11/14 and got a verbal offer the next day but since then waiting to hear from them. Been following up continuously but the partners are not replying it seems.

I am just unsure whether to accept the offer as I was waiting for kpmg reply as I want B4 on my resume which apparently is a big deal. Is BT also good on resume for future employers ??
