“Busy season” is always a hot topic, but let’s give a shout-out to everyone in the industry dealing with audits at this time.
Is anyone else feeling their patience being pushed to the limit by external auditors?
The requests and questions are often absurd, and it feels like we’re rehashing the very same discussions we had last year. What happened to ‘Staying Away from Last Year’s’ issues?
One response
I totally feel your pain! It’s like we go through the same routine every year, and yet the auditors still need to ask the same questions over and over. It’s exhausting. One would think they’d have the notes from last year’s conversations handy! The “same as last year” principle (SALY) seems to have been tossed out the window in favor of starting from scratch. Kudos to everyone in the trenches dealing with this – your patience is commendable! Let’s hope for smoother sailing once this busy season wraps up!
