From Grok - too large so I'm cutting and pasting. what is an audit An audit is a systematic and independent examination of records, statements, operations, or financial accounts to verify their accuracy, compliance with laws and regulations, or efficiency. Here are some key aspects of an audit: Financial Audit: This is the most common type, where auditors examine an organization's financial statements to ensure they are accurate and in compliance with accounting standards. They look for any discrepancies, fraud, or misrepresentation in financial reporting. Compliance Audit: Focuses on checking if an organization follows specific laws, regulations, policies, or procedures. This can be related to industry standards, environmental regulations, or internal company policies. Operational Audit: Evaluates the efficiency and effectiveness of operational processes. It aims to improve performance, identify inefficiencies, and enhance operational controls. Information Systems Audit: Involves reviewing the controls, security, and processes of an organization's IT infrastructure to ensure data integrity, security, and that IT governance is in place. Internal vs. External Audit: Internal Audit: Conducted by an organization's own audit department to assess internal controls, risk management, and governance processes. External Audit: Performed by independent auditors from outside the organization, typically for financial reporting to stakeholders like shareholders, regulators, or creditors. The process generally involves: Planning: Defining the audit's scope, objectives, and methodology. Execution: Gathering evidence, testing controls, and interviewing staff. Reporting: Documenting findings, including any issues or recommendations for improvements. Follow-up: Ensuring that recommendations are implemented and issues are resolved. Audits aim to provide assurance (that systems and records are accurate) or consultative advice (on how to improve processes or compliance). They are crucial for maintaining trust in financial markets, ensuring regulatory compliance, and promoting operational efficiency. Audits take longer than a few hours, dude. These are not audits.

Was going to retire in September anyways. It’s still sorta up in air because of court rulings. Great neighbor except he’s a Commander’s fan.

It’s still sorta up in air because of court rulings. Great neighbor except he’s a Commander’s fan. I know someone similar. I believe 27 years and then did civilian for a few decades. He's been going back and forth about retiring for a few years now. His position expires at the end of the year. Said he'll take the buyout if negotiations work out in his favor It's going to be interesting how this works out for these people
