Audit Cowboy

Like a cowboy in the Wild West, an auditor does what he has to do to survive. He shoots from the hip, and documents his way around problem areas to reduce work load and conflict with clients.

Manager - “How did you manage to reconcile tax payable to within 28 cents when you’re clearly missing specific expenses/tax allowances?”

Audit Clerk “I did what I had to do, I’m an audit cowboy and it’s tough out here in the Wild West”

Dervan, I told you to get 75% coverage by vouching payments. Recap1 says you vouched 99.8% of the balance. You my friend are an audit cowboy.

Audit Hangover

Physical and emotional symptoms normally representative of a drinking hangover, but which occur from auditing too late, particularly in busy season.

Guy #1: "Oh man, I was here drafting that long-form audit summary memo until 3:00 this morning. I've got a massive headache, sensitivity to light and sound, shakes, dizziness, and an overall feeling of regret for what I did last night."

Guy #2 "Shit, sounds like you've got a serious audit hangover. Nothing that 4 ibuprofen and a Red Bull can't fix, though."

Guy #1 "Oh snap."
