Is it normal for a client to ask you to confirm independence for each team you’ve worked on? & after you’ve already completed the work? I thought we confirm independence as a firm before accepting a client.

Client: please confirm independence

Personal & firm independence are two separate things

To make sure nothing changed or something wasn’t overlooked? It’s really not a big deal to confirm, not sure why you’re so bothered by it. People make mistakes with independence all the time.

Insider trading is illegal and we have confidentiality clauses in our contracts but we still have to respond to finra requests

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
