Why can’t firms just hire third party auditors to do the audits?
They’re already paying you? Why pay for a completely new person?
Brush up on your GAAS knowledge. Physical inventories need to be observed by independent auditors.
Because new staff need to learn!
Being on site is actually helpful insight when you end up being the senior/manager on the other side especially when issues come up, etc.
And also, there are horror stories about 3rd party counters being terrible and finally, the actual counting is the least important part. It’s the documentation and professional skepticism that are important for properly executed counts.
We hire RGIS (I'm at a public company) to assist and they kinda suck sooo...
I’ve had to do counts with RGIS and they do very much suck
Have you seen what we bill for one inventory count? My first year they were billing $2K/a count
That's not very much lol
Because you are the 1st party counter, sweetie
You mean he is the 3rd party counter?
