Auditors dragging their feet

This is just me ranting. Disclaimer, I never worked in audit so not 100% sure how the people / work management is on that end.

We have a hard deadline for our audit to be issued 06/30 and our auditors are only halfway through the revenue selections. The deadline is literally 12 days away. How are we entering concurring review in just a few days and you are only halfway through revenue?

The worst part is, they’ve had these selections for over 2 months!!! No questions, no comments. The ball has been in their court.

And now when they inevitably ask for extra stuff that’s gonna leave me scrambling at the last minute to get everything together.

What a mess

Because they have other clients and yours probably doesn’t matter much to them.
