Working in the Detroit market, on the Kelly Services engagement from 9/17-3/18. Apart of the Q3 and 2017 YE audit. I was tasked with numerous cycles while at Kelly Services. I was responsible for Cash, Temp Payroll, Investments, Benefit plans, Entity Level Controls, and PEFR. All of these cycles contained control testing and substantive audit work. The YE 12/31 audit was a challenging audit but all in all it was a success. During the busy season I improved most on my analytical skills and problem solving. The team was compromised of some new members and different audit approaches were taken on PY documents. Creating new work papers was a hard process at times. However, the extra work resulted in better documentation and in turn a more comprehensive audit. I had an opportunity to coach an intern during the busy season. It was rewarding to pass on my knowledge and help this individual succeed at PwC. This year I will be working on a new project within PwC. Splitting my time between the Detroit, MI office and the Tampa, FL office. Looking forward to this and also excited that I have the opportunity to be apart of this diverse experience at such an earlier stage of my career.
