Alright, alright, alright.

Until he’s on your team….

Risk assurance - I worked at a regional firm where we perform SOX consulting which is pretty lucrative- to document their processes and help implement internal controls for compliance. Projects range 70-90k and they usually take three weeks to a month to do.

Internal Controls are checks the company does to mitigate risk like fraud, things like checking segregation of duty, doing monthly account reconciliations, reviewing SOC 1 reports for softwares the company used to ensure no funny business, reviewing user access lists to make sure no one has access after they quit or access to things they shouldn’t have and things like that.

I would turn your progress into law school as a positive. Since most accounting firms HR/Recruiting departments don’t know a lot about Law school rather than it being a difficult task. It shows that you have relevant “experience” in working in stressful situations/ have tried to handle a large workload. Besides that most of the recruiters aim towards green accountants. That topped with your age should show that you have what it takes to join PA. As long as your friendly and personable you should have no difficulties joining PA. Source (27 senior, PA 2 years)

Anchovies are definitely a different kind of stinky tho

Unless you plan on staying in IA your whole career it’s probably not worth getting your CIA. The CIA will definitely help land jobs in the future if you decide to join startups or maybe become Chief Internal Auditor. On the other hand, the CISA would definitely be of good use in those cases as well and being a certified information systems auditor will give you more exposure to ever growing ITGC than the CPA or CIA would. All in all, not worth doing unless you want to stay in IA.

Yeah I’m currently using two additional monitors myself but want to upgrade to three monitors plus screen. I haven’t got a docking station yet and the USB-C adapter I have right now won’t support using three monitors lol

What kind of hardware are you using to set this up? I’m trying to get on your level lol

Fuck Burns and this back of the head hits. Usman would tear that ass up again

I do risk assurance at a regional west coast firm in IA and it can get somewhat busy at times. Depending on the client and deadlines I work 40-50 hours a week most weeks and like 60 hours a week once every blue moon. The thing that sucks is we don’t usually get to enjoy the summer hours the other practices do

Which total war is this?
