Realistically: if the Wirecard scenario came across your review queue, do you think you would have caught it? Or would you have had “professionally skeptic” coaching notes/review comments on the workpaper to catch it?

Idk about that, but what I do know is that KPMG shouldn’t be dunking on anyone for audit quality.

EY2. Not all of our audits are quality. One of the teams I’m on is trying to clean up a dumpster fire where almost every single prior year workpaper fails to address the risk. I was brought on to SALY some things. There is no SALY. Not at all. Inspectors would laugh PwC out of the room on this thing.

What kind of Masters program would you recommend for someone hoping to make it into a senior leadership/executive role in Comms/PR? I have over 6 yrs of experience in Comms in public/private sector. However, I haven't had any formal education in Comms/Journalism which I have felt always put me at a disadvantage. My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?

If buy the partners you work with regularly a holiday gift, how much do you spend? Usually I get baked goods or food items which you can’t tell the actual amount spent on. This year, though, I’d like to support local restaurants by encouraging people to order takeout—hence, giving gift cards.

How much is appropriate for a restaurant gift card from an associate to a partner?

I’m currently leasing an apartment in Philly. A new company just bought my building and now we owe payments to them.

Are we supposed to be given a new lease when this happens? No where in my current lease does it say, if someone buys our company that we’ll automatically have agreements transferred

I'm a noob with bonds, can someone break down ibonds for me in idiot proof language?

Per what I'm reading the interest rate is 9.62% if I buy through Oct 2022. It's a 30 year investment, but I can withdraw after 5 years without 3 month penalty.

Questions:
(1) Is the interest rate fixed or variable over the term of the bond?
(2) Assuming 9.62% is annual return but definitely want to confirm 🤣
(3) Do most people actually keep it in 30 years? I'm looking at 5 years for now and re-assess
