First Day of Auditing (well 1st 2 days)

Ok, so busy busy busy. My first days have not been nearly as scary and i thought they would be. The work load is a lot, however is not quite as difficult as I had imagined. Challenging, yes definitely...but after looking at it and understanding PY WP's, I get it! The only thing I'm sketched out about is TM's, Review Notes, Testing, and double referencing...pretty much all the stuff that comes with time! I hope I don't mess up. My senior Chad has given me a lot of stuff to look over, and I am responsible for the following things:

**Expenses** The only expenses for my client are man. fees so it isn't that bad but it is lengthy for 3 accounts

**Payables** Basically I do the same thing except rather than looking at ANA (ave net accumulation for the entire year) I test based on the last month of the year.

Overall, pretty simple, a lot of cutting and pasting and THANK GOD FOR MACROS!! saving me hours of transfering numbers back and forth across the screen.

I actually learned a little bit about hte Bloomberg machine today, that was cool. I was able to see up to date prices for stock for all the biggest companies, but then I had to get pricing info for year end for a guy that works at deloitte I haven't even met yet(Microsoft, Google, Ebay, etc). I tried to look up my stock but you need a specific number or specific knowledge to do that so I couldn't... oh well maybe sme other time.

Ok well that was my first day.

I keep thinking about Grandma B for some reason, I had a terrible nightmare the other night and she came alive and helped me get through it, very strange.

Ok hope all is well...Love yoU! going to bed, its 9:50 I'm tired!!

PS I miss my niece, my brother, and my sister in law...when can I talk to them on the phone, I want to hear my nickname!! :D
