“Audit profession unattractive to new recruits,” proclaimed PWC UK’s boss Kevin Ellis last week.
My first reaction to that is an auditor called Kevin is about as massive a contradiction as imaginable.
Nevertheless, unless you’re religious and believe you will live forever, auditing angels and harps and what have you, Kevin is surely stating the obvious.
It’s a constant puzzle why people choose certain professions, such as dentistry being a standout example.
