I passed all parts about a year and a half ago and landed a job in Internal Audit. I mostly deal with operational audits in higher education and love it. My issue is this: whenever accounting issues come up, I feel totally clueless.
Example: a client is having issues with their Quickbooks accounts and all these negative balances carrying forward over years. They need to make adjustments and want advice on how to proceed. I had to bring it to my boss in order to find out how to help them.
I never really gained experience as an accountant and I am ashamed to say that I feel clueless about accounting issues…even after a Masters in Accounting and a CPA license! It’s causing me a lot of stress and I’m becoming very self conscious about it.
Anyone feel this way? How do I gain more day-to-day knowledge of accounting issues without ever having been an accountant?
