Audit: from zero to heroThe good thingsIt is indeed a very good learning ground for fresh graduates. Auditors have the access to various firm training and materials to improve up their accounting technical skills and other soft skills as their career progresses. After 1 to 2 years, you will find yourself leading an audit team and participate in decision making.This is rare experience that will be hard to achieve elsewhere.
The challengesDepending on the audit project that you are working on, often auditors are required to work long hours possibly up to 16 hours per day during the peak period season (Jan - March) which may impair one's health condition. In addition, the stressful workload and pressure of meeting the audit deadlines can be quite intense.
