HireSetu's note
Put audit work at the top of your CV
The three mandatory items are audit and accounting knowledge, MS Office with an emphasis on Excel, and strong written and spoken English. That is also the order the work sits in. An audit internship, articleship or a college project where you tested a sample and wrote up a working paper carries more weight than a CV stacked with financial modelling and corporate finance, which appear on the skills list but sit well outside what an Associate 1 does.
IDEA, CaseWare and eAudIT are the tools on this desk. Recognising the names before you join helps. Understanding what a working paper has to show, and being able to walk through a variance you found, helps more. Check your marks before you spend an evening on the application. The 60% first division is a stated cutoff on the postgraduate degree, and 58% will not be waved through.
Shift, staffing and the chargeability number
Kochi, onsite, US engagements. Settle the shift window before you accept anything. US client work run out of India means late evenings or nights through the January to April busy season, and the posting gives no hours. Ask whether the shift is fixed or rotates, and whether you need to be reachable during US hours for calls with the onshore team.
The second number is chargeability. You are measured against an annual target for billable hours, so find out what the target is, how hours get logged against engagements, and how training or firm initiatives count towards it. Ask as well whether you stay on one engagement or rotate across sectors. That decides how much variety you see in your first two years.
