In my career as an accountant, I have undertaken a large number of audits and have learned that the purpose of the audit is a major determining factor that decides how the audit is performed. Every now and again, a company will want to fine tune their financial operations, and for that, they need a clear picture of their financial health. I go through all of the records to help managers see a full picture of exactly how much the company is making and how resources are being used. Now and again, the managers want me to look for irregularities, and I’m always on the look-out for red flags. For a special purpose government audit, the main focus is to comply with set guidelines. I have a sharp eye for detail and spot inconsistencies and ensure that everything on the records complies with current tax laws.
