AUDITOR WILL NEVER BE A PERFECT BOYFRIEND~

I know, the title might sound a bit of an insult to auditors@accounting students out there who planned to pursue their career in auditing, or joining any audit firm and finally become an ‘AUDITOR’ but seriously, I don’t mean to insult those mention above, it just im writing this base on my experience, and what I’ve seen, listen and heard stories from others

Basically now im doing my internship in one of the big 4 audit firm, so ive been mixed up a lot with auditors and unlucky for me, now is what all the auditors called peak period. Peak period is when all the companies need to close their account and is where the auditors need to audit their financial statements and produce audit report, and that what normally what the auditor will do, AUDIT. But what lies behind the words is the one that scared people from becoming auditor or the main reason why I said auditor will never be a perfect boyfriend.

The truth reveal, what lies behind the word of auditor that scared people is their WORKLOAD. Bullshit if people said that auditor’s salary if low, coz what I know senior auditor can afford to drive brand new mini cooper, and that’s only senior not even at the rank of assistant manager or manager or senior manager or head of department or exec director or partner!! See, can u imagined if u become a partner, what type of car can u drive?? Auditor is indeed super damn rich. Back to our main topic, why auditor cant be a perfect boyfriend, the main reason is because like I said just now their workload. Imagine like this, a whole year transaction for a company, an auditor need to audit all of it within a certain short period of time. In order to audit all those records, transaction and financial statements, auditors need to go through more than 100 files!! Can u imagined, to complete TOC (test of control) which auditors need to select samples, the auditors need to go through all files available in the filing room!! I’ve been to ADIDAS and they had like a mountain of files, maybe because they also had office in other countries as well. But ADIDAS can be consider as medium size company, can u imagined if u need to audit big size company?? Normally for audit planning, auditor need to complete it within 2 weeks, and after finish with the first company, there goes another one and the list keep on getting longer and longer. No rest for auditors. What make matter even worse if u get a client@company that was so fu**ing not organized their transaction, filing and data all mess up. One word, DIE lol for the auditor. To add more suffering to auditors is when the client don’t give full co-operation, u request for some documents then after a week will u be able to get what u have requested, and at the same time u only left with less than a week before due date. The manager also can be a headache for auditors, the manager can simply shorten the audit period or make it earlier for the due date. See, auditors have to suffer to complete their task.

Because of the overload task and workloads, the auditors normally have to spend most of their times patiently and with passion (really??) completing their task. So, when people said auditors have no life, its true. Some of my officemate also stayed late in the office, even sleep in the office during night! Owh, don’t forget that even during weekend and public holiday auditors also have to work. Crazy is it??Thats the life of an auditor and the reason why auditor can’t be a perfect boyfriend. There u goes, no life for auditors only their never ending workload.

True story, one of my cliques here has broke up three times within 2 years as auditor till he finally give up on having a relationship as long as he still an auditor. Reason being given by his ex-s, he rarely spend time with them. Even weekend also he had to go to office, owh on public holiday as well. The girl keep complaint she feel like she dot even have a bf as her bf can not spend time with her, a single night for dinner also seems impossible for an auditor during the peak period. But im not saying that all auditors will stay single till they died. There are still auditors out there who happily get married or having a healthy relationship with their love one. And im currently trying to figure out the best type of soul mate for auditors. Perhaps maybe in some other time I’ll be able to write about the criteria that will best suit for auditor’s life partner.

And there you goes,the main reason why auditors will never be a perfect boyfriend. To all the girls out there, if u think that u wont take much time or dont need so much attention from ur other half, then auditor will without doubt be the best partner for u. But i doubt if ever those type of girls still exist. Till then, to all my fellow accounting students and auditors, try to get a life!!~ :P
