Whats a PCAOB review like? Had the luck to not be in any so far. Do they just look at certain areas in the file or do they try to re-perform some of the testing?

It's one of the worst experiences I've ever had. They will select focus areas (usually revenue, inventory if applicable are top of the list). You'll fill out an overview doc of systems/scope/etc.

They'll review anything in the file that they want to and ask questions. You'll answer questions live (carefully) and they will decide if they like your answer enough to close it or will keep focusing on it. If you cannot get them comfortable with an answer they will start to write findings.

Some teams get a lot of questions, some don't. You have either a week or two week inspection to get them through it but your prep will start weeks in advance

Have you seen women wear ties and "masculine"-looking suits to work? Was it accepted by client and team?

When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Crowe is hiring for quite a few positions across the US (Internal Audit, IT controls and cyber/digital security, Compliance,etc)… I’m a manager and would think some of these niche areas have great opportunity for new folks to excel rather quickly. Great flexibility and mobility policies. I’d be happy to chat if interested and get you directly in touch with the right people internally.
