What is my profession again?

I'm on my second season of audit already and it feels like I've been working for five years. Maybe it's because I only had two month of slacking in which I manage to take an out of country vacation for my birthday and an impromptu travel to the north and experience "surf break" at Elyu (La Union). You can check my travel blog, Travelling for Less, if you're interested to know about my travel adventures.  

Actually, I have come to a realization that audit is not that bad. It's not great either, but it's not bad. My pay is "okay" which is one of the reasons I can't say this is a great job. However, I can actually plot my vacations and manage my time in order to provide the necessary output to gain my bosses' "vacation approval". I guess, unlike other low ranking auditors, I consider myself one of the lucky ones who managed to get hired by an awesome audit group. 

I like my group, NHC group, under Miss NHC. You'll have to guess what NHC means though. Hehe. I like my officemates, they really try their best to get the best out of me *wink*. Each one of them is different which is why I need to treat each of them differently too. You know, the treatment which suits best their individual personality so as to avoid any conflicts. I'm well aware that they too try their best to adjust to my unreasonable short-temper. Basically, in our group, we get to be the best and worst version of ourselves, and that's okay because, everyone is okay with it too. 

A lot has happened already, tears fell due to raging hormones and feeling of being treated unfairly, but that's okay. Whenever I feel down, I look at the happy pictures we had together, reminiscing those happy moments we shared. Charot! During that one year, new friends were made, but some of these friends came after me, but left first. Maybe they're meant to do something else other than audit. Good for them. 

I was wondering why I chose audit. Did I choose audit or did audit chose me? I don't know the answer and I'm not interested to know anymore. One thing's for sure though, I think I do enjoy my job currently because I'm staying for the whole year of 2017. I also get to meet a lot of people and visit new places for freeeeeee! 

I like the new theme of blogspot, I guess I'll be posting more now.

Safeguards in Auditing

Safeguards Once a threat that is other than insignificant has been identified and evaluated, safeguards should be considered and applied as necessary. If the firm decides to accept or continue the engagement, in spite of the significant threats identified, such decision should be documented including a description of the threats identified and the safeguards applied to eliminate or reduce the threats to an acceptable level.The nature of the safeguards to be applied will vary depending upon the circumstances. Consideration should always be given to what a reasonable and informed third party having knowledge of all relevant information including safeguards applied, would reasonably conclude to be unacceptable. The consideration will be affected by matters such as the significance of the threat, the nature of the assurance engagement and the structure of the firm.
