Don’t understand a thing

I am working in Grant Thornton as an audit associate and I don’t know what shit I am doing even though I am an ACCA Affiliate. The work comes in bits like do this do that and i am not able to understand what we are doing and why we are doing, I just feel so depressed because of this,I have been working as an audit associate from the past 2.5 months.

Feel so demotivated, my senior has knowledge but she doesn’t know how to communicate.

What's the most time-consuming part of an EBP audit that nobody talks about?

DOL data consistently flags participant data and contributions as the top deficiency areas.

But I'm curious what actually eats the most hours on the ground: Is it the reconciliation work, chasing TPA documentation, the Form 5500 tie-out, or something else entirely?

SECURE 2.0 Roth catch-up changes are hitting EBP audits this season: Here's what's actually different in the procedures

The Roth mandatory catch-up provision under SECURE 2.0 kicked in January 1, 2026. For

employees over 50 earning more than $145,000 in prior-year wages, catch-up contributions

now have to be Roth, not pre-tax.

Found these tools for EBP audit. Let me know how it helps you!

Hey everyone,

Been going down a rabbit hole on EBP audit tools lately, especially with AI starting to make a real dent in the space. One that caught my eye: Tieout (tieoutai.com) just got covered in Accounting Today. It automates the plan document analysis side of EBP audits. You upload your base plan doc, amendments, adoption agreements, set your own legal precedence order, and it extracts every auditable provision (eligibility, vesting, contributions, loans, distributions, NDTs) with source citations. Then it generates test procedures and routes steps to the auditor for sign-off. Runs on a combo of OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic models, all optimized for EBP-specific language, which is apparently a big deal because generic LLMs struggle with plan document nuance. Curious if anyone here has tried it or anything similar. What's your biggest time sink in EBP audits right now? Does a tool like this actually solve it, or are there gaps? Drop your thoughts below.

Built an AI tool specifically for EBP audits, looking for firms to test it and give honest feedback

We built Tieout for one specific problem: the manual reconciliation grind in 401k/403b/pension audits that eats 5-15 hours per engagement.

It ingests plan documents, census, payroll, and trust data (PDFs, Excel, CSV, screenshots), extracts provisions with source citations, generates narrative test procedures, and runs 100% testing, all in a single run. Firms sign up at the firm level, not individually.

Not looking to pitch anyone. Genuinely want external auditors to run it on a real engagement and tell us where it falls short.

If you do EBP audits and want early access: tieoutai. com

Also, just curious what's the biggest time sink in your EBP workflow right now?

Breaking into IT Audit (CISA, 5 YOE in tech + fin. risk + analytics) – advice?

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to break into IT Audit and figured I’d ask here instead of endlessly applying into the void.

Quick background:

  • CISA certified
  • ~5 years experience across IT apps (full-stack), financial risk reporting, and data/BI work
  • CFA Level 1 + AI governance certification (IAPP)

I’ve worked closely with auditors on control design, testing, and audit requests, but haven’t held a formal IT Audit title yet.

Currently in the US (Albuquerque, NM) on a visa, originally from India.

If anyone here is in IT Audit (or hiring), I’d really appreciate any advice, referrals, or even a quick reality check on how to position myself better.

Thanks!

De suspicion à la preuve: l'apport de Missionpro

I’ve been reflecting on how fraud detection and auditing are evolving, especially in contexts where resources are limited but risks are high.

In many African countries, and beyond, fraud, corruption, and inefficiencies are not just ethical issues; they have real macroeconomic consequences.

What I find interesting today is the shift from traditional auditing, often reactive, manual, and time-consuming, to more AI-assisted approaches.

https://missionpro.consulting/

The idea behind tools like MissionPro is not just automation, but something deeper:

- structuring investigations,

- detecting “red flags” at scale,

- combining behavioral models (like MICE, GONE, etc.) with data analysis,

- moving from suspicion to more structured evidence.

It raises a broader question:

👉 Can we still rely on traditional audit methods in a world where fraud itself is becoming more sophisticated and data-driven?

Or are we entering an era of the “augmented auditor”?

Curious to hear your thoughts:

Do you see AI as a real game changer in fraud detection?

Or are there risks we are underestimating? https://missionpro.consulting/
