“the new manifesto for accountants.“

i was lucky in the entirety of my career to have been empowered to try doing things differently. i had mentors who encouraged me to keep learning. but today, this forms-filling exercise that audit has become discourages people like me from staying. the ones who stay in audit are the ones who like filling out those forms.

new audit staff rarely have a mentor who gives them the big picture of what audit is supposed to be. instead, they learn how to fill out the forms better and more accurately. they don’t get review notes that ask them to think about what they’re doing. they get review notes about the way they reference their supporting documentation.

this lack of mentorship means that the best and brightest, the ones who like to keep learning, eventually leave. we are making the problem worse for future generations.

new zealand doesn’t have a tax season. this is largely because all tax returns are due one year after the standard march 31 year-end for businesses and individuals. but also: fewer than 20% of individuals actually need to file a return.

“the returns that accounting firms are filing are for business owners and people with more complex investment structures,” says giles pearson, ceo and co-founder of accountests, an online knowledge-testing company that focuses on recruitment, selection and development assessments for chartered accountants, accounting graduates and candidates.

pearson adds that while a few do wait until the last minute, “the reality is for a lot of smaller firms here, by january, they’re literally twiddling their thumbs.”

this is something that pearson suggests the aicpa and the profession could be lobbying congress to adopt in america. alas, the profession has been trying for years, to no avail.
