      Hey, Devamsha! I’m Alma, a student received the offer of PwC this year. I watched most of ur videos about audit in big four, and thought these are really helpful to know more about this job, and lower my anxiety before starting this career, especially this video.
      But I am in China and most of us do not use UA-cam, and some are not good at English. So I am wondering if I could translate this video into Chinese and upload it in one of our most popular video websites called bilibili? I believe it will help lots of people like me.
      I will put the original link of your video if I could get the permission. Thank you so much for all of your inspiring videos!

    What auditors do:
    1. Research an audit.
    2. Test the transactions, programs, etc for the audit.
    3. Create and update workpapers.
    4. Draft a report
    5. Management take the report, say your testing sucks and write what they want in the report.
    6. Repeat.

      @@woahdereboiiii If you intend to test them properly - you need to understand these concepts well, although not necessarily as in-depth as the person preparing notes for years (whose work you are testing). There is much more higher focus on auditing skills though and these would be: professional scepticism, ability to understand accounting concepts applied by audited entities in relatively short time (each client may have their own nuances) and ability to face clients.

    I'm deep in ACCA Audit and Assurance right now and, unlike most students, I love it 😂Unlike tax which changes all the time and is super tied to one single country so you can't move around the world, yeah, screw tax.
    I can't wait to get my first auditing role, although speaking with the client does sound nerve wracking especially orally. Thanks for the insights.
    I didn't think A/R was considered a low-risk area, as it can sometimes require significant judgement (thinking of allowances for bad debts). Crap, now I have substantive procedures popping into my mind (inspect post year-end bank statements for evidence of customer payments...) lol I'm actually an audit nerd

    Love the in-depth description of day-to-day tasks and responsibilities, especially as I am a graduate who is looking to get into auditing, so these videos are super helpful for insight and interview prep! I just have two questions: Firstly, how do you ensure/know that you have all the details necessary from the client and that it agrees with what actually happened? (e.g. In case any errors occurred at their end) Secondly, when do you work individually and when do you collaborate with others or as a team?

    • @Devamsha
      @Devamsha  3 роки тому +13

      really glad this video was useful for you! in response to your questions, you just have to be super clear when you request things from the client. there are usually a number of procedures to check their work is free from error. however you get better at asking with the job :) and to be honest collaboration is a constant thing! you're always going to be part of a team, you might have individual areas like cash or accounts receivable, but the whole team is working together on the whole audit. when you're stuck, you can reach out and vice versa!

    What I'm going to Say next is just My experience in the Auditing branch of accounting and doesn't mean it applies to everybody, but is just an insight of the posibility, and this message goes for the new applicants who want to be in Audit.
    Just emphazising on what You Say about the busy season:
    Busy season is more than just having a pile of documents to Review and have a much thighter deadline. It means to be prepared to endure for a couple of weeks getting off the job minimum at 11 p.m. cuz usually your gonna be leaving your work at 1- 3 a.m. ( at least here in México) only I had one friend who didnt slept in a day for one day. But that it means busy season so Think carefully before getting in there, Audit is not for everybody and You should have a vocation for it if You want to develop yourself in this área.
    But the positive outcome is that You Will learn a lot. And literally when I Say a Lot is A LOT

    my journey in life.... I new many IT professionals but none could tell me what the hell they did, it hurt me to the core, made my journey tougher, I literally had a mentor who was an IT auditor and could never tell me what exactly he did on a day to day, rather he pushed me into SAP Consulting.... deep sigh..... In 4 minutes Ive learned what the hell an auditor is ..... 20 years later. sigh

    • @Devamsha
      @Devamsha  3 роки тому +3

      Hey! I actually spoke about this in my recent vid, I am NOT good at math lol. I agree that job satisfaction should be the aim but you also have to be practical, when you’re young any experience and skill set is easily transferable. If you do audit that doesn’t mean you can’t ever do marketing!
