Hi all,
Does staff auditor require a lot of writing everyday ? I want to switch from industry to public accounting. I didn’t have to write a lot at my position right now. Are there any books that y’all recommend for auditing so I can refresh my knowledge? TIA.

Yes. Each audit you will write a a books’ worth of “documentation”. Writing skills need to be sharp and precise

I was offered a contractor role (~20 hours a week) at 90/hour. This is extremely attractive because it’ll double my income (and the tax deductions from 1099 are solid). With that being said, I also want to see what kind of conflicts I can see given that I’m at a B4 firm.

I get the whole “you can’t have a second job” thing and don’t care but I’m actually worried about causing major conflict of interest.

Any advice on things to expect (or not expect)?
