I am looking to move from audit. For all technical accounting people here - I am wondering what’s the expectation for technical accounting role? Do they expect us to be very familiar/deep with accounting guidance? I deal with technical accounting issues/national office consultation for few of my clients, but I can’t say it’s deep as it’s not main responsibility (and need jump into other audits).

Appreciate any insight, thank you

Probably have 1 or 2 areas of more deeper knowledge (at least knowing where the common complexities lie), high-level knowledge of a couple more topics, and the ability to research all topics.

I had to write a couple of memos first week, knocked it out but you have to research the technical accounting topics and outline why the entity is choosing to utilize that method.
