Is it worthwhile switching into Forensics as an upcoming CDN senior associate in Assurance.

I currently rotate between Core Assurace and RAS
PwC and expect to complete PERT and qualify for Canadian CPA next April.

I’m debating on the merits of potentially applying for a transfer now or competing my senior associate in Audit and applying for transfer as an experienced Associate?

Never wait to transfer if that’s where you want to be. I’m a forensics SM and people often chat with me, and when we have staffing needs I look to those I know. Make connections without burning your current team and jump whenever they tell you to jump

Forensics leadership does value an audit background, so it doesn’t hurt to stick to audit and continue to learn those skills. I’d say the group is not always accepting transfers so just because you decide you’re ready doesn’t mean there will be a spot for you, so if you can start the conversation even informally with some forensics contacts then maybe you’ll be called on when we need headcount

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
