NAO, PAC, VfM, HR, FYI, ACA… These are just a few of the acronyms you seem to be bombarded with when you first start working at the NAO. During my first few weeks at the office I often wondered if my team was actually speaking English or some secret language I had never heard about when they were using a lot of acronyms and abbreviations and felt completely lost at times. One of the first things I realised was that I had to get to grips with this language or I would not be able to follow what colleagues or clients say in meetings or interviews. more… NAO language… or ‘how to say a lot of things in a very short way’Tagged: Languages, Learning, New starters, Training

New Year’s resolutions – always easy to make, and always so easy to break!

Instead, I undertook a small survey of trainees’ (vaguely) work related resolutions and have cobbled together the top six (as said, it was a small survey). more… New Year’s resolutionsTagged: Events, Languages, Resolutions, Sports, Travel

Audit locations are not always glamorous – you can be working pretty much anywhere from a corporate city centre office to a small town in the middle of nowhere. I was lucky to have the chance to work on an international audit for the United Nations agency, Office for the Coordination of Human Rights, in Geneva for two weeks. The NAO is currently part of the UN’s Board of Auditors for a six-year term with the Chinese and Tanzanian audit offices, which gives trainees exciting opportunities to do UN work. I was with a team of three others, two of whom had just returned the previous week from another UN office in New York. more… Fondue, chocolate and audit: Geneva callingTagged: Audit locations, Client visits, Clients, Financial audit, International audit, Languages, United Nations
