So I recently accepted a job as a Staff Accountant with a Small Public Accounting Firm. The position is primarily Audit, but also has some tax (80/20). My question is how to best prepare myself for the job, I would like to ideally go into it prepared. Basically how to be a good Auditor?

I feel like what I have learned in school and in the CPA exam has prepared me conceptually for the job, for example I understand the Audit Risk Model (AR=IR*CR*DR), Different types of Audit Opinions, Management Assertions (transaction level, Account balance, and Presentation and Disclosure), gathering sufficient Audit evidence, and so on.

How to translate all of this into the job. Thanks in advance. Sorry if its a dumb question.

FAR 5/6/2015- 84
REG 8/3/2015 - 87
AUD 10/25/2015- 69 1/20/2016 -75
BEC 2/26/2016- 80

Thank you God

Not a dumb question at all but I wouldn't be too anxious if I were you. As an entry level employee, you won't have too much expected of you. Just remember to be professional, especially while at a client, and ask questions if you don't know stuff. Don't be afraid to spend a little longer on items that you are having problems with. Its better to spend a little extra time now and understand it than to continue not understanding it and continuing to waste time on it.
