I work in Audit Quality in a Big 4. I spend most of my time telling teams about guidance and/or policy issued the last 6 months. Does anyone pay attention when new guidance is issued?

Nope. Formerly part of the audit (tax team) for multiple f250.

Not really....I just look for new WP but those are usually mentioned by other people or during training

Literally never

Absolutely pay attention to guidance. But the extent to which it’s adhered to is often impacted by whether the guidance is baked into the audit tool (almost forcing you to adhere). I’m not a genius and cannot recall every piece of information that I come across.

Yes I read the weekly digest emailed to us to scan for relevant guidance for my audits.

I have a return offer from a big 4! Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as an intern and have no complaints. Would love to go back.

However, a bit confused if I should try and recruit with MBB’s or if I should accept the big 4 offer already and take the sign on bonus?

Would it be a blunder to NOT try recruiting with MBB’s ? Besides the monetary aspect, what are the other things I’d have to think about?
