What is the best answer to “Do I look fat in this?”

It’s the last day of the month! What’s the best thing that’s happened to you this month? I’ll go first. For the first time in 3 years, my biopsy results were negative. Hoping the second one has the same results and I’ll finally be free from this.

Hi, I am bringing together a team through a reorg any suggestions on how to bring a new team together remotely?

Anyone work for an insurance company? Specifically Humana internal audit? Any tips for applying, suggestions?

Does anyone work for a large privately held company that is using their IA strategically to identify risks specific to the current pandemic? If so, what company and what are you looking at?

I recently transitioned from corporate finance to IA. I have a little bit of downtime. What resources do you recommend to help build my skillset and assist with the transition?

So I’m probably thinking too much. But I’m looking to leave public accounting and have an opportunity with internal audit. I want to make sure where I go I have good opportunities to advance and if needed be marketable to other companies. Do you think internal audit makes you more or less marketable to other opportunities in the future?

Is anybody familiar with the CIA challenge exam?

I am currently a CPA debating if I should work towards a CIA certification.

If I read this correctly I can forgoe some of the CIA exam since I am already a CPA. Is this correct?

Hello,

Can someone give me an overview of what Internal Audit does? Received an offer for IA and currently work in External Audit. Want to know the differences between the two.

Is this normal? Have only 2 interviews for my on-site and then would have another “informal chat” with VP if I pass on-site before sending to HC, haven’t read of anyone else with this experience

Hello

Thanks

For people who’s saying industry is better, my first day was kind of a dumpster fire with meetings and works the second I log in. It was equally stressful as PA. Please tell me it gets better.

If you’re not competent enough to solve real problems in the organization, create a few minor problems that you can solve and look like a hero.

But you have to ensure the org feels the pain of your decision before promising to fix it. It’s like the three parts of a magic trick: the pledge where you float your idea, the turn where you inflict your idea, and the prestige where you fake a way to fix the mess you made on purpose.

Only works managing up, tho.

I want some advise on how to work for all big4 at the same time

Post your hatred here. Feel free to include your name level and role and the names of those whom you hate the most at your firm. Pls include why. Incriminating evidence is welcome. This is a safe space and there is literally zero chance your boss or any of your coworkers will find out. Not that many ppl may attention to what is said here.

When an organization is not adequately staffed, be sure increase the number of meetings to address how to allocate people. Forcing negotiations at multiple org levels around the same decisions will ensure everyone is totally aligned.

This accomplishes three things:
1) Everyone is mad at each other since they’re competing for people
2) They’re confused and not able to pay attention to the root issue of chronic under staffing
3) They’re distracted from blaming mgmt for the root cause.

How do I get promoted?

Join the Politics Bowl for mature and well reasoned discussions about the issues of the day.

Set very low expectations for raises and bonuses this year. START NOW. No firm can beat what the market is paying for talent, so under promise with low expectations. That way people will feel grateful when they get a 2% COLA in a few months.

We’re approaching annual review season and it’s very important you put your 2022 goals into the system. Most of you don’t have any goals listed (10.5 months into the year) and they goals mean f*ck all in the evaluation process, but I need you to get your goals documented TODAY.

Make every effort to record the fireworks display tonight.

You’re sure to watch that video regularly. Unlike the last 7 years of fireworks displays you watched live through your smartphone screen.

When you know the employee survey results for your business unit will be absolute dog crap, just delay the survey and claim it’s so you can conduct a more focused survey for your business unit.

How do I ship my mom in law back? Almost ruining our marriage and loosing the affection for my wife and kids already

Hot takes on the internet- especially in anonymous apps filled with overpaid, out of touch, educated fools - is the best way to form your opinions on the issues of the day.

Conduct annual performance reviews with your kids and let them know their status in the family is at stake. There’s no feeling in the world that compares to seeing an 8 year old kid on a PIP turn it around and earn an invitation to come back next year.
