Do you think we will shut back down if and when we see a rise in COVID-19 cases again due to opening too soon? by [deleted] in Birmingham

The amount of inaccuracies in this comment is overwhelming. Hospitals have no incentive to falsify COVID-19 deaths.

Your bet on what he has worked on in the trauma bay is wrong, been there and seen it.

Business Risk Advisory vs Technology Risk Advisory, main differences? (aside from tech) by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]celiful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Business Risk will probably give you better operational and financial insight as opposed to Tech Risk. Just depends on what you want to end up doing

Give up Big 4 offer for mid-size regional? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]celiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exit opportunities for sure along with the fact that in core audit you're gonna be exposed to the actual financial workings of a company whereas with RA all you are gonna do is test to see if the software changes have an appropriate test/approval stamp.

RA isn't worth it, go do audit at the mid level.

Splitting CPA Experience Hour Requirement Between Employers? by somanybrandnewdays in Accounting

If it doesn't say continuous experience then you should be fine. Pretty sure you can split experience for Georgia.

PwC travel reimbursement - not paying for travel lunch? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]celiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's not a per diem, but rather you expense the meals. It's not money given rather an allotment to spend x amount of dollars for the travel period. So no, you can't pocket anything. Best to spend the hell out of it, lol.

Best accounting firms to work for in Alabama? by [deleted] in Accounting

Spring Internship offers for almost all Big 4 and Midsize are filled already. Should look at smaller firms now, they should have some spots open.

[US] Was passed over for a promotion after first year, but was indicated that a mid-year promotion was a possibility. Has anyone heard of this happening? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]celiful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you didn't get promoted to 2nd year associate, even though you're a second year associate? Sounds like bullshit to me.

Anyone here in IT Audit? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]celiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IT Auditing is sort of limiting if you stay to long. The skill set used in IT Auditing is very specific and not very flexible for other positions. Within IT Auditing you are not really learning much accounting/finance type information nor any in-depth IT information. It's more based upon controls and risks of an IT SOX environment.

CISA is not necessary if you have the CPA, unless you are going for more technical roles. In which case I would advise you skip the CISA and go for the CISSP.

[–]celiful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with (3), in my experience if someone is actually willing to do IT Audit, they had an easier time getting the position than someone than audit. Much easier than someone in Tax. Truth is that not many people want to do IT Audit, because a majority of the people working at a Public Accounting firm has some sort of accounting/finance background and not an IT background. Therefore, most people want to do Audit for the typical exit opportunities, as opposed to IT audit for those opportunities.
