As my internship comes to an end, I have just finished my first mandate for a client.
Before going to the client site, I was both curious and stressed. But the stress melted away as soon as I arrived there. First, the CFO made us take off our ties so that we would be more at ease. Then he invited us to take a tour of the company to give us an overview of their activities. This is a company which is specialized in the distribution of professional audio and lighting products. When we entered the quality control department, I was amazed by the work the people of this department perform. Some employees’ job is to play guitar to ensure the good quality of the products.
The mandate itself was a review engagement that included preparing notices to readers for some affiliated companies. I now have a general idea of the compilation work after having prepared a notice to readers end-to-end. My supervisor was available to answer all my questions despite his busy schedule.
This three-day mandate was a rewarding experience: it allowed me to put into practice the theories learned at university and to gain a better understanding of some key audit concepts.
