Many of these have been recently won clients formerly audited by Big 4 and Top 10 practices.I've also led on a number of other engagements, including Solicitors Accounts Reviews, Charity Reviews and Audits, and various other accounting assignmentsSince joining Booth Ainsworth, I have demonstrated my project management abilities as well as knowledge and have been leading some of our larger audits, including those recently won which we therefore have less prior knowledge of. I've also been working on improving the quality of audit work on our existing files. More recently, I've used my experience and understanding of IT risk to roll out new working papers for IT audits and improve the level of understanding of this increasingly significant area of audit attention within the firm. I've also been involved in improving the firm's induction and training arrangements in order to improve the process of integrating new staff into the practice.
