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 KZread, 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 actually have worked at big 4 for 5 years and am still wondering what I do.

Thank you so much for this useful video. I'm in the application process at some accounting firms and I have watched many videos of yours, from which I've learned a lot!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experiences, and advice. Truly helpful

I should've watched this before my audit internship, could've helped a lot. Talking about the question instead of trying to solve yourself and eventually being in a rabbit hole was very true in my experience and could've wished more would be auditors learn about this.

It was a wonderful explanation of responsibilities of the junior auditor. Really appreciate it and learnt a lot from this video. Thankyou!

Super insightful video. Currently prepping for interviews so this has been immensely helpful. Thank you!

Thank you, the in depth info helps to cool the anxiety of not knowing the job, especially if you've never worked. You've beautiful eyebrows by the way, natural.

As a first year auditor, I totally agree with all the points you made. Really great video!

best and most honest video I have seen on the topic so far, very nice

Thank you Devamsha! I really enjoy watching this video. Being a person who’s just preparing KPMG audit interviews, the detailed experience and tips are really valuable that I’ve never get the chance to learned them from any campus networking events. I am actually pretty excited to have the interviews!!! Appreciated and subscribed!!!!

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

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!

Wished I had this when I was working in an audit firm many moons ago. Great video and initiative!

Thank you so much this video!

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

Hey! I recently discovered your channel so sorry if you already replied in one of your vids (hope not!). I have been really enjoying the audit topic - I work in industry in a similar role - as well as frugality vids - I'm also frugal, I dumpsterdive and love all my curb scores x-. * are you an internal or external auditor? I am not sure how you call the two roles in consultancies, but I can imagine there are terms for companies delegating internal audit to consultancies and external audits to companies for their accreditations. Or can you get both types of engagements? * in which type of dept do you work in? Financial risk? Or is it flex or? I ask because I do only regulatory/IT so I have no idea about the financial risk realm (at least not in the context of my current job). Also the other audit KZreadr I follow (bySajina) seems more regulatory oriented so I'm super curious to hear of financial risk. So ye some ideas - I thought to leave them here instead of IG DM bc I heard it helps the channel too hehe ciao from the Netherlands

I have some knowledge with the technical stuff like the Excel tips you've mentioned, and that's one of the reasons why I want to take the audit, but I'm really really afraid because I don't have a good foundation in auditing, especially auditing theories (when talking about the subject). Despite that, I still want to pursue this field because I think it would really help me improve my skills, and I am thinking maybe the actual training or work would help me better understand the audit. Anyway, would you still recommend the audit to me despite all these?

Should do a video on politically incorrect audit tips; how to slack, essentially. I'm sure you've picked some of these up. For one, overpick samples so you can delete the problematic ones at the end (lol). Don't pick foreign currency samples so then you don't have to spend time recalculating the exchange rate. If you're doing PPE/fixed asset verification, if it looks vaguely like a JCB, then it must be the right asset -- just tick it. And my personal favourite, strategically allocating performance materiality to untested areas in a given section so you can avoid the annoyingly difficult areas. Are you testing debtors/receivables and trade debtors and prepayments are both immaterial but you don't fancy testing prepayments? Of course, just test trade debtors and then you can slap the 'immaterial for further testing' label on prepayments and you're SORTED.
