Quick Question (Negative Comments Keep Them)- in Public Accounting Auditing When Are You Considered An Experienced Auditor? I’ve Been An Audit Associate For 2 Months Shy Of 2 Years And Still ConsiderMyself “New” Because I Only Participated in The Audit Season Twice. However, My Manager Stated That “Technically, I’m Not New.” 🤣

What Should I Know At This Stage. I Know Everyone is Different But I Work Mostly With Labor Unions & Employee Benefit Plans…

I Appreciate Honest Feedback…🙌🏾

Honest question, why do you capitalize every word?

likefunny

OP, if capitalizing makes you happy, capitalize to your heart’s content! (in a non professional setting such as this). Was just asking if there was a specific reason, but there doesn’t seem to be. One of the few instances of something being truly random and I’m Here For It!

I would say you're not new but you could be new to the specific project/task (e.g. cycle, procedure, industry, team, client).

I think like the other senior said. New to certain work still. Like I've done EBPs, including old pensions and health and welfare to Standard FS. But I need more education on compilations and reviews. I'm at a new firm and they do a ton of them.

Same question as SM1, lol. But otherwise, yes you are new. At 2 months I don’t think you’re in a place where you’d be able to answer any questions. I’d be shocked if your team even had you emailing the client directly at this point. You can learn a lot in 2 months, but not enough to call yourself “experienced” in my opinion. However, a year down the line when people start calling you an “A2”, then that’s when you’re considered an “experienced staff”, and the training wheels come off.

22 months not 2 months but thank you for your input…
