I enjoyed the boardroom setup more because it was more of a team setting and it was easier to communicate amongst the team. Second, there was a difference in the size of the client. The first client was larger than the second. The size did not make too much of a difference to me, but it was interesting to see how large the gap was between material misstatements within both company’s books. Finally, the first client was a public company while the second client was a private company. Again, I did not prefer one over the other, but there was a different mentality between the two teams knowing that one client’s financial statements are being seen by millions of potential investors, while the other client’s financial statements were for internal use only. Getting to experience both types of audits provided me with valuable insight as to the type of work I will be interested in in the...

This reinforces the responsibility of management to foster a work environment in which employees can thrive and work together harmoniously.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, visiting Berlin, urged the German government to do more to boost lackluster domestic demand, which the U.S. and others argue is partly to blame for the anemic economic growth in the euro zone as a whole. Do Tax Cheats Solve the U.K.’s Productivity Puzzle? URL:http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2013/10/22/do-tax-cheats-solve-the-u-k-s-productivity-puzzle/?KEYWORDS=productivity abstract: Economists in Britain have long been scratching their heads over the nation’s troubling “productivity puzzle.” Now Markit, the financial information provider that publishes the purchasing managers’ indexes used to gauge activity in the global economy, has tentatively suggested that former tax cheats might be muddying the waters. Britain has a bigger workforce than it did before it tipped into recession in 2008 yet is producing far fewer goods and services. This mismatch between output and jobs has led to a collapse in productivity, a measure of how effectively an economy uses its resources that’s an important driver of future growth prospects.
