To what extent does independence rules apply? I’m currently a finance manager and applied to a M&A consulting role at a B4 and they’re the auditors of the company I work at. I’m not part of the accounting function and I do primarily OPEX reporting of one of the many orgs in AWS. I had a phone screen and they said they would get back to me about the independence rules here.

I feel like independence only applies the other way around (going from firm to client). But I did just take an ethics course that included independence and still couldn’t tell you so maybe don’t listen to me.

Just now realizing I should’ve just not written a responses.
