Should I declare in my independence reporting that I am a Tiktok Influencer and receiving brand deals ? I wonder if I will be breaching some independence issue if I start negotiating and receiving payments.

Better to err on the side of caution but in your case, I would definitely report. You’ll probably be notified that you can’t do any brand deal with a firm client.

Chill. I am also not reporting my OF…

Yea, if they find out after the fact you can risk your job. Depending on the firm they may say you can continue but can’t monetize.

Yes.

Even if you're just getting product or services, you need to declare. Just like people who are yoga instructors and just get free membership because of it.

Yes 100%, if a channel 1 client gives you a brand deal that you don’t disclose you are absolutely gonna get cooked. Reality of working at one of these big firms sadly

Pretty sure you have to as soon as it becomes another source of income and you have to get each individual one approved. There's a girl on TikTok who recently left EY with like 300K followers. Her video about leaving implied that she had to choose between working for the firm or doing social media.

Yeah you need to report that to independence.

As long as it’s not in conflict with the company your working for now ie a competitors product taking away hours from your company. Ex ex
That is a side gig and really none of the company’s business as long as it’s not in conflict your good

You’ve never worked for a CPA firm then. The Big4 and other auditing firms have strict guidelines and rules around regulating any activity that results in monetization. Recently a principal got in trouble because their kid was playing around on Robinhood and day traded some meme stocks that were on the no-no list.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
