I have my CPA but never worked an assurance rotation so never got to put it in practice. All I have done in internal audit is validate the controls are working effectively and never had to deep dive into the technical accounting

like

I would do nothing, since its outside your scope. If they ask for your opinion, just say that you can help with the controls you've reviewed, but outside that I would just sit in on the meetings (idk why they have you in...) and be a yes man.

Read the process narratives and related control documents obtained during the walkthroughs.

You could google EY FRD on particular topic and read through that to learn accounting

Look at the FRDs (if you are trying to learn a specific aspect of an accounting concept) and google the accounting topics (for a general understanding).

Hi everyone! I am in a weird situation right now that I haven’t been in before and could really use some advice especially from women who might have faced or seen something similar. Long story short, I was brought into my current firm and promised that the work I want to do is within the team/solution they recruited me for and aligned me with in the system. However, once I started working on the project, it became very clear that I’m in the wrong team and on the wrong project (continued below)

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
