Question：Work interest and expertise is Auditing, but dont like to be disliked . What to do?

Hi, Emily, I saw your profile and shared articles via Linkedin. I would like to consult to you some questions and hope you could also post notice in Linkedin once you complete the response in your blog：My work background is also an auditor at a well-known sizable accountant firm, and I would like to change my job to be an internal auditor in a company. My work interest and strength is auditing, however, in my clients’ work environment, I found auditing is a department most colleagues dislike them, I can understand that no one like to be audited, but I don’t want to be disliked by others after my job changes; and, more than a half of my listed companies clients, they built up auditing departments only for legal compliance purpose, they are companies with billions of capital but their head of audit work role is only manager work level and reporting to their CFO rather than to the Board of Directors directly, their audit work function is fake. Please let me know how can I find a job of a company which really values auditing? When you were an auditor, did you feel your peers dislike you or your job? How did you react to that situation? How can auditors obtain better work promotion or work titles?! Thank you.

Answers and Advice

1. 「Auditing is a department other colleagues dislike them」, 「I don’t want to be disliked」. What to do?：

(1) 「I don’t want to be disliked」= It’s you to allow others’ behavior affects your mood at work, so, there is concern about improper authorizing by you to others to manipulate your mind 😬. As the saying goes, people who dislike you will not change their attitude toward you into liking you even you send them money. ( In this situation, it’s better to donate these money to charities or sponsorthis website than giving them 😁 )；people who like you sincerely will always support you in spiritual aspect at least even if you are in bad status. It is advised to love yourself more, then, you will feel less impact from others attitude toward you 💓💓💓。

(2) 「Auditing is a department other colleagues dislike them」, there may be insufficient evidence to support this point of view is true：May I know how many clients you are handling? Is this number of clients enough to verify all listed companies’ work preference and attitude toward internal auditing is the same as mentioned? Advice for this issue is the same as above (1). People cannot control other adults’ preference but to manage and adjust their own mind to reinforce their courage to reduce negative attitude impact from others.

2. The Audit Head is Manager level only, and reporting to CFO rather than to the B.O.D, audit work function is fake：

(1) It needs evidence to support 「audit work function is fake」 or not. Otherwise, we can only say its audit reporting line doesn’t match the requirement by law.

(2) Do you think an internal audit work function is surely real because they directly report to the B.O.D? 😄😄😄 I’m not sure.

3. How to find a company that values auditing works and how to obtain higher audit work title and promotion opportunity：

How would you define a company that values auditing or not?

Please be advised to list all your idea and discuss with your work interviewers to know their opinion and take it into job selecting consideration. For example, in your ideal work environment, how should auditing and its reporting tasks be performed?! Share your idea and ask for feedback and know your idea would be accepted by employers or not。

If you are searching for an Auditing Specialist job rather than a managerial role, please be advised to ask below questions per your concern：

(1) Work title： I hope could work for a company for my long term career development, work being recognized and having the opportunity to be promoted to Chief Auditing Officer position. May I know how this company’s plan for this current Audit Specialist role now and in the future?! How its work performance will be assessed and its work promotion opportunity. Thank you.

(2) Value much on Auditing：

i.If this company’s audit department belongs to XXX rather than reporting to the B.O.D, how it can achieve work neutrally and independently? What if this XXX giving Auditing work instruction about not to report some audit findings in audit report? In this situation, what kind of actions would the company expect from Auditing to take and deal with it?! Is there any related work procedures currently?

ii. How would this company describe itself a company values and supports Auditing works?

4. Did your colleagues dislike you or your job when you were the auditor of your company? How did you react in this situation?!

This happened. They were BU General Managers；I was doing my audit result presentation, however, before I started, these General Managers had already read my written suggestions and said all my audit advice was 「not required to our work environment」.

My manager, the Managing Director, did an immediate 「Work Instruction」 to these General Managers at that moment. He meant：

「Please be understood that Emily is just doing her job now；is there anyone who doesn’t understand this current situation?! 」

「Who can show Emily how to do Auditing works properly?! Or, we need to listen to her first?」

This meeting went very well after that.

I didn’t do any response to those General Managers, it was because, I can feel, people in that work environment have less internal control fundamental understanding, less than I imagined at that moment, and this was the most difficult thing to solve. For example, there was a BU having no written approval work record for significant amount transaction, my mind focusing on this issue and thinking how to deal with it with people in this environment；I didn’t pay much attention to those things other than that.

I need to mention another situation. There were other BU General Managers in this company, or, in another work environment I worked for, they respect Auditing very much. Similar characteristics of these people are：high sense of honor, hope could do things to prevent from control weakness happening, they invited auditing department to join their work improvement and give advice and hope could know the 「root cause 」 of the advice. I also learnt a lot from them. In our discussion, we sometimes enhanced our work quality unexpectedly. That work experience is valuable; I thank them giving me that work experience and environment and also feel it interesting. There was a practice：

Colleague W of Maintenance department talking about a specific product’s maintenance rate after 3-month use by consumers is 90%.

ü I hope could know how he calculated and found 3 and 90%?

ü W said it was due to his work experience and having difficulties to explain.

ü I asked again：If our CEO takes this explanation and reports to the Board of Directors, then our CEO may need to bring W to attend the BOD to explain his assessment. Because only W knows how 3 and 90% came from. 😆😆😆

After that, we discussed 「how and why」 W feeling that way, and defined 「Sales Order」 and 「Clients’ Maintenance Request」 as the major 2 sheets among all documents in their department to calculate and verify 3 and 90% and finally revised the number as 2 and 75% accordingly…

I hope I’ve answered your questions. What else do you want to know?
