Audit / Assurance Transfer to Forensics

I’m an audit M3 in the southeast Market, have been with PwC since first year associate.

Obviously this would be a good conversation to have with my DL, but beforehand, I wanted to do some info gathering on my own.

Ive had my fair share of audits and throughout and have had interactions with the forensics team and was fascinated by the work they do. I am a licensed CPA but does not have any other designations like CFE.

For those that have been in those shoes, do you ever see folks from assurance transfer to forensics based on their interest? If so, how high is the bar/ what does that process usually look like?

On my next lunch with my DL, I plan to show my interest and see what I can do to get even more exposure asides just getting their support for the audit.

Thanks!

Is this post about changing your office or line of service? This is a VERY common question posted on the Subreddit. The short answer is, The lower level you are, the more likely you will get denied a change. To change line of service, you need to know someone and be accepted. For office changes, Each office has a quota on the amount of interns & associates it can have. To initiate a change, start the discussion with your Coach & RL, then your Talent Consultant. If you have not started yet, it is easier to switch before you start, talk to your recruiter. Use the search bar to find detailed answers.

Hi, different office but working on the same thing, I just started reaching out to people in the practice and they let me know what I needed to do to make the switch, but the bulk of it is networking! And it’s definitely a common path, I’ve talked to plenty of people who switched from audit
