This video is the best video I’ve seen under accounting on youtube. It shows how much thought you put into your videos and how passionate you are about what you do. YES! Please continue to do more video like this one to give us future accountants more insight! Makes me fall in love with accounting even more. Amazing Stephie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much for all the videos you make! After graduating with an engineering degree but not wanting to pursue a career in the engineering sector i found the accounting profession. Your videos have been such a help to understand what is involved in a typical accounting role and it's great to see how excited and passionate you are about accounting! I love it! Thank you!
Too funny! i am taking my last part of the cpa exam monday morning and it is the audit section... i have failed audit 3 times by a point. I work in tax and the overall audit process from beginning to end just doesn't click for me; I get too caught up on the tiny conceptual details. I usually go on youtube to take a study break and came across this video! You explain everything so well and it has helped SO much. Thank you!! I have followed you for awhile and love your videos because you always provide great insight and advice on your career in public accounting and maintaining a work life balance! I have been working for a big 4 firm for a little over a year and its definitely hard. It's so nice to have someone to relate to!
Thank you Stephie for this video, it's helped in more ways than you know. I'd love to see a video on the roles of each person in an audit team. Quite frankly, I think you're the only RUclipsr with descriptive videos on technical accounting/audit matters. THANK YOU.
+Melissa Castanon awww thank you! I have but I enjoy sharing in the comfort of my home hehe.... I want to make more informational videos on specific topics though in the near future!
Wow so the audit approach Is the same everywhere.i also work in an audit firm myself though a small one no where near big 4. Please do a video comparing thr pros and cons of working for the big 4 Vs smaller firms
I love your videos! This was really informative, thanks. I'm starting my first semester as an accounting major at a state university in California and I'm really anxious. The accounting major is notorious for being one of the hardest and intense non-science studies at our school. Lots of anxieties and worries about failing, sigh lol. But your videos help keep me inspired and motivated. ^^
Amy Lee I just graduated from SFSU with a degree in Accounting business... and yes it was intense but duable practice as crazy more than reading theory (which you also need to comprehend) you will be fine and feel proud once you graduate
If Performance Materiality (ISAs give no specific model) is used in scoping out FS line items, isn't this a bit contradictory? Say we select N600,000 PM and scope out all balances < N600,000. What of materiality in aggregate? These individual line items < N600,000 may well add up above N600,000. If they are all scoped out, there a significant risk that FS contain material misstatements. How does this tie to Audit Risk model? Also, how are we sure of completeness assertion? Are these scoped out balances even accurate and complete? What if they understated and that's why they are below PM?
I've been thinking how I hoped you put a video up soon, and here it is! I love your videos, especially since I start school at the end of August. I've been wondering, if I get a BS in Business with a concentration in Accounting, will that hold the same weight as a specific Accounting degree? Thanks!
I graduated with a BBA in Accounting. It depends what you want to do after you graduate. If you want to do public accounting, you will need a specific amount of accounting hours in order to sit for the CPA exam. Usually an Accounting degree will give you the most accounting hours (Which is what you want, if you want to do public accounting.) In the state of Texas, you need at least 30 hours of upper level accounting, 24 hours of business, and 3 hours of ethics, to be eligible to take the CPA exam. It all depends what you want to do after you graduate. That can be either public accounting, industry, governmental, etc.
I think I'm going to go into industry, at least at first. I just checked Excelsior's degree requirements, and I will have 33 hours of business, 15 hours of accounting (of which 9 must be upper-level), and 3 hours of ethics. Mainly, I wanted to get into the field, and then use any remainder GI Bill to go for my CPA. Thanks, by the way!
The real piece of paper you need that holds weight in auditing is your CPA license. If you don't want to go into that, just industry, you should be ok. But don't expect to rise quickly in promotions.
It's sometimes easier to start in public and then switch to industry. Your state may also require you to work under a CPA (or in public) for a certain number of hours before you can be certified. You might want to check that out. I know in my state I have to work 200 hours under a CPA. Each state is different.
This video was very helpful!!! I'm thinking about switching from tax to audit, so I've been trying to find whatever information I can. I am more on the introverted side - I don't mind working with clients one on one or working as part of a team with my coworkers. However, I HATE presentations. Have you personally had to give a lot of presentations or do a lot of teaching as an auditor? What about when you worked in the big 4? Is this something that just varies from staff to manager level? I would appreciate any insight you may have on this topic.
Would you say that it's necessary for students/new graduates to get experience in bookkeeping and accounting (e.g. transaction entry in QuickBooks, preparation of financial statements, etc.) before entering the audit profession? Or is having a good understanding of the material from your Intermediate Accounting classes sufficient enough?
Thanks for this videos. I normally do taxes, but working on my first audit. Not sure how to handle work papers and documentation. This is their first audit, so there is no historically data.
I love your video so much! This video is super helpful! Thank you very much for sharing your experience!!! I would be really really appreciated if you could continue talking more about audit, like the specific roles. Or what software do you use in audit? Or what skills are necessary in audit?
Thank you!! I love your videos. I hope all is well with you and your very own personal planning that you shared with us not too long. i really want to hear about the jizz of individual roles.
In a practical sense, do management accountants generally provide the auditors with a trial balance to audit then once the figures are agreed and all the audit adjustments made, they map the balances to form the financial statements and then the auditors will look over that with regards to presentation and disclosures?
Typically the financial statements are being put together by management accountants while the audit is still going on. So there may be audit adjustments that come up that will have to be recorded in the TB and updated in F/S. Can be annoying to refresh a few times but it's what usually happens IRL.
Hello! I have a question regarding something weighing heavily on my heart lately. So this aspect of accounting/audit is what REALLY interests me. It’s like...financial detective work and all of it is so interesting to me! However...a lot of my professors at school are telling me that financial reporting and general auditing are set to go fully AI within the foreseeable future. In your professional opinion would you say this is true?
Can a new grad be part of an audit team？Auditing is very comprehensive and needs a lot of professional judgement.If I can't find a job related to auditing but my ultimate goal is being an auditor.What kind of job would you recommend as the first job？
Hi Stephie, thanks for this. It helped me refresh my knowledge in audit. I am planning to make a comeback and be the best auditor. By the way, how are you related with Inspector Mills? lol.
+harman Depends on the engagement team and budget but normally when the manager or above is there, it's ran through on their corporate card. But usually that's a few times a week at most and the other days its per employee. Unless you are lucky and get on a client where all lunches are paid 😁
hi! What is your opinion about how robots will take over accountants and auditors? I am currently studying accounting, and this is making me worried. Thanks :)
+Stephanie Astrid I answer it in this video. Long story short - I'm not concerned. At least not in my career lifetime :) ruclips.net/video/tRtXMICCufk/видео.html
GOAT...holding it down for fashionable accountants with friendly sisterly advice.
+Its.Chrissi 😘😘😘 you are the sweetest!
I know right! Totally breaking the mould!
I just started my first busy season as an intern, and this was soooo helpful to clarify the audit process. Thank you 🙏
I'm a CPA, and this is really helpful ❤️ Thank you so much!
you provide so much value in your career videos. I honestly can't find anything else like it on RUclips. thank you 💜

How was your exam? I found out on 8/17 I passed Aud after 2 fails. I am done, officially CPA. I work in tax.
This was amazing!! I am majoring in accounting and I am excited. Thank you so much for this!

Have you ever thought of becoming an accounting professor? You do a good job of explaining!
+Melissa Castanon awww thank you! I have but I enjoy sharing in the comfort of my home hehe.... I want to make more informational videos on specific topics though in the near future!
Love the pillow, Steph! And the information, obviously! :D
+radellafy thank you ❤

thanks.
Thanks heaps for the video! I start as a graduate auditor at BDO very soon and am now very excited! :D

Amy Lee is it a Bay Area school?
Amy Lee Good luck Amy. Accounting is a hard, but not too hard of a degree. Just practice practice and practice.
Amy Lee I just graduated from SFSU with a degree in Accounting business... and yes it was intense but duable practice as crazy more than reading theory (which you also need to comprehend) you will be fine and feel proud once you graduate

My mom's tiny business is going through an audit..it's taking the auditor and accountant almost 1 year so far.
it shouldn't take that long probably not an audit maybe more like a financial and accounting advisory type of service
Any chance you have videos or can do videos on what to know as far as MS Excel is concerned as a CPA/Auditor?
+Brian Nau I will definitely do some!
