Question: For key reports C&A - completeness counts and sample of accuracy… is this the responsibility of management and audit team reperforms or is it ok to independently test (i.e. we have access to pull screenshots ourselves to toe report back to system). I thought it was the former, but getting a lot of pushback when requesting.

Management and then audit team reperforms.

Clients hate it because there isn’t any value add for them it is an audit attribute for testing

It is 100% a value add. Couldn’t tell you the amount of issues found when the export doesn’t match the actual system

There is also additional testing around the code that it is pulling the intended data that management typically points to ITGCs.

The ET can perform additional procedures in addition to that since management is relying on the testing process of the manage change it process and the IT teams do not test to that level of sufficiency. This does not need to be done by management.

Also if you do this report testing as part of substantive procedures you can dual purpose that work.

Note: this is a mixture of my firm guidance as well as my understanding of interpreting the guidance. I have found different firms are different and each person has their own preference

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.
