Hi Nagarrians, it's been 45 days now since I joined Nagarro I was assigned a team at the time of joining but since then I am waiting for interview to take place. Is this normal procedure? Although from day 2 my project manager asked me to fill the timesheet corresponding to one project which is no billable. I am having concerns now as I don't know if this is normal ?

What’s your firm’s current wfh policy?
Ex-IBMers with 7B - what was your designation on your relieving/experience letter? And can this be updated? This never mattered while on IBM, but since I'm serving NP it concerns me. The automated separation email says it can be updated prior 5 days to LWD but my manager denies that no such action is possible now.pls suggest IBM Infosys Accenture
Happy Friday, furiendssss ❤️

Haha, while I agree, some clients need to be led a little. At least in the sense that I don't want to hear about their entire job, just points that are relevant to the audit
Slightly annoyed when I watch people conduct walkthroughs and dominate the conversation. Just let them talk and tell you about the process
Also the worst is when you prompt them to describe the process and the client says "well like what do you want to know" or "what does your documentation say"
The worst is when the client is rude and stupid
Which is where the prep comes in handy
^ Yep. Or else you'll be looking at a lot of back and forth to get what you actually want. That's not good as you get deeper into the Audit.
the worst is when you show up and they say "oh I don't have that ready now, I can get it to you later." somebody did a bad job of preparing you for what a walkthrough is.
^ that necessitates escalation if repeated.
the only problem is when internal audit is facilitating your walkthroughs (choosing contacts, scheduling meetings, trying to lead meetings for you, etc.) and give you feedback not to "lead" the contacts by asking specific questions.
Lol
There's a level of implied preparation that's required. Get familiar with the process, the key controls, and approach with a skeptical mind, even if nothing has changed since the prior year.
To make myself more clear, the ideal approach (simply put) should be, you walk in and say, "Talk to me about your process from Step 1". Instruct them specifically what Step 1 is and let them guide you down the path.
You should already be aware of thing like completeness, accuracy and proper timing and such, but it's just inefficient to walk ourselves thru the process, where the client just listens and answers probing questions.
