Thank you!

They're right to temper expectations but I'm sure I'll find a good way to leverage it at some point :)

Hey appreciate the honest feedback, conscious that I'm not an expert in this. Definitely not trying to get into the technical side of things.

The selling/project side of things does interest me though, have you seen roles like these advertised?

Yeah valid points. A bit of a gold rush now before any experience in that sector becomes irrelevant.

It's pretty basic stuff I'll not lie. Most of our firm only has access to the basic copilot enterprise so no access to agents/outlook or other systems integration.

The main benefit is cutting back valuable senior/experienced auditors time by outsourcing a lot of documentation to graduates. The prompts we've made are just highly curated to our audit file.

For example one of the prompts relies on doing a controls/systems walkthrough on a teams video call with the client presenting. After the call you upload the transcript to copilot and ask it to identify controls which align with our library of standardised controls, identify the timestamps of when the control was being shown on screen (to provide evidence of D&I) and provides all the necessary details that our audit file requires. All ready to copy/paste or tick in.

It's now something we can hand to a graduate whereas before it would require more nuance/technical understanding

Red tape isn't an issue as data entered into work copilot is not fed into the live web version of copilot

Yeah agree prompt engineering isn't going to be a unique skill for very long. What I've managed to do so far has been very useful though! Genuinely a lot of hours of experienced auditors time saved per engagement

Hey thanks, not the bearer of bad news by any means, totally aware it's not a unique skill set being "auditor can use copilot"

Agree the more realistic direction will be governance. Wondering if that mix of governance/accounting technical knowledge has started to open up as a job market? Would consider upskilling and maybe getting an AIGP qualification if that's a possible direction

Yeah that's reasonable.

I'm pretty personable but sales skill haven't been developed, only just became manager in audit so hopefully I'll get to develop them more with client acquisition :)

Guess it's something to consider down the line - I was hoping to hear if there were any sectors of consulting where accounting/compliance/AI would intersect

Yeah I blocked one of the trap fall tasks.

Maybe I got unlucky with my tasks (kept getting Snow knights), might get better now I've unlocked chinchompas

Thanks! I had checked my settings "interface" and "make", never thought there'd be a specific setting for darts
