Saved my client about 300k in penalties for missing foreign disclosures on their 1040. Their prior preparer had missed them for several years and we were able to get out of all of the penalties. I'm in tax obviously, you auditors are on your own on this one.

We train our teams to look for other service ops during audits, so we identify areas of improvement all the time. We educated a client on risk exposure that helped in their turnaround. On another, found fraud and worked with Board to address control problems. Helped a client implement new lease system in advance of standards change. Just a few examples...

Providing independent assurance to stakeholders to maintain confidence in capital markets. This isn't meant to be a flashy career. If you wanted pomp and circumstance, you should have become an actuary.

If you’re in audit your ‘client’ is the audit committee (at least for issuers). You provide value to them by giving them some assurance that things are being managed appropriately. We also bring SMRs to the audit committee meetings.

Not the answer you want, but audit adds value because it allows the company to exist (public for obvious reasons, private for loan convenants etc)

I'm NOT trying to add value to the client. I'm here to make sure shareholders don't get bent over and ENRON'd.

It's sad that public accounting is used as a stepping stone. It's a great job, but working 60-70 hours a week is not acceptable. Just because you did it (management) doesn't make it justifiable.
