If you are starting as an Audit Associate some time from now with Deloitte or any of the big 4, do they expect you to have passed/completed all 4 parts by the time you start?

I’ve seen plenty of people get to Senior at a big 4 firm without the CPA so I am a bit confused in that aspect. Any helpful feedback will be very much appreciated.

Hi all, has anyone in supply chain taken one of the certification exams? (CPSM, CPSD, CSCP)

Any insights appreciated. #supplychain #cpsm #cpsd #cscp #education #certifications

I am planning to leave my firm after busy season and I am wondering if I should let them know this is my last busy season or stay quite and just give my 2 weeks after busy season?

Should I tell them know or just stay silent and give my 2 weeks notice?

Would also be grateful to learn about potential strategies non-DD focused consultants have used to ultimately break into investment teams.

Feel like audit scheduling is always done on a knifes edge in that the timeline and staff schedules are enough so that if everyone works 60 hour weeks and no issues are identified then it can be filed on time. But even small things that increase the work can wildly throw off the schedule and cause hours to skyrocket for the staff on the job. No real point here, just ranting.

I wonder if we’ll still have minimum billable hours if WWIII breaks out
