I have really enjoyed this course. I feel like I have learned a lot about a
wide variety of topics. Interestingly enough I think the concept that
will impact me the most in my future career is the processing of
screening engagements. Having just completed the discussion post
regarding oral reporting, I have realized that this is something I should
look for in an enagement. Or even clarify with a client prior to
accepting an engagement. I feel as though the entire concept is too
risky to be relied upon on its own. This is not something I ever would
have thought about before this course. Additionally, the exercise
where we had to decide if we would accept or reject an engagement
based on the information provided really made me think. That case
was pretty clear cut, but they won't always be that clear. I learned that
I need to look beyond compensation and scope (is this a case that my
skill set is equipt to handle) and consider the reputation and history of
the client as well.
