Hey all, I’ve recently joined EY consulting from another Big 4 and have noticed there’s no discipline (at least in my team) around codes and charging time. People either charge a standard 7 hrs or some will charge time spent on internal activities to their client code.

I was told that “the last person to charge their actual hours worked was promptly booted off the project”.
Just wondering:
1) Is this a general cultural point accross all Consulting teams? Will challengin this get me in trouble?

2) From Leadership’s perspective, wouldn’t you want people to charge their time accurately to the right codes, so that you can plan for demand and understand how much effort various internal initiatives require? (As in, do you use stats from Timesheet reports to make decisions or nah)

I found their approach bonkers. Basically it’ll get changed by the Partner if you put over the hours.
The UK is the only country this happens, worked in Denmark with the firm there and they put actual hours in 15min blocks to the client.

Definitely feel free to book all of your hours and report anyone that tells you otherwise to your counsellor or Service Line Leader.

Book full 8 hours.. everyday every second every year

The thing I struggle with the most on a project is being able to quickly understand the business process of the clients across different industries. Any tips or resources I can use to improve that?
