Discussing the pathway to a successful career as an auditor will be inconclusive without explaining what an audit is and the duty of an auditor. An audit is an independent review of the financial statement of an entity to ascertain its accuracy, to ensure efficiency and effectiveness while an auditor carries out the function of an audit by giving a true and a fair view on findings. Audit involves frequent checks and review of all financial operation of an organization. However, audit goes beyond examining just the financial transaction of an organization. An in-depth audit incorporates examining business decisions, human resource management, staff welfare and motivation, operational policies, etc., which are managed by proper internal controls that should be reviewed from time to time. In view of the fact that an auditor must form an independent opinion on his findings, it is necessary that the following must be taken into consideration in the discharge of his duties to be a s...

A brain workout? Yep, it's a thing (Corbis) Fact: We are outliving our brains. Life expectancy in the United States today is about 80 years old while that of Nigeria and some sub Saharan countries is less than 55 years. The problem? Our cognitive brain performance peaks in our early 40s. That means mental functions like memory, speed of thinking, problem-solving, reasoning, and decision-making decline in the last 30 or 40 year of life. The truth is most people don't consider their brain health until they're faced with injury, disease, or simply getting old. But just as we've come to realize that we can improve our physical health through diet and exercise, we can improve our cognitive health too.  It's simply a matter of engaging in the right mental workouts. Science now strongly supports the fact that our brains are one of the most modifiable parts of our whole body. Our brains actually adapt from moment to moment, depending on how we use them; they either dec...

  This man is really growing frustrated.  Just few weeks after loosing the champions league final to city rival, Real Madrid, his club faces another great challenge ahead of the new season as big clubs in Europe have started poaching on his best talents.   Diego Simeone is becoming exasperated over the selling off of his Atletico Madrid squad. The Daily Mail says the Spanish champions are wary that coach Simeone is growing frustrated at the sales taking place with Diego Costa and Filipe Luis heading to Chelsea with free agent Tiago. Midfielder Koke is also the subject of fevered interest but all interested parties are being referred to his buy-out clause of £48m. Koke is also being linked with Chelsea, along with Barcelona . Really bad for this great coach.

The FIFA world cup 2014 kick-started yesterday in Brazil in a grand style as Brazil the host country started on a winning note. Neymar struck twice as Brazil won the World cup opener against Croatia 3-1. Neymar, Brazil's Barcelona talisman, proved the key for the win in a sparkling and controversial  match that may well set the tone for a World cup of thrills and skills.  Each Brazil goal, two scored by Neymar  the second after a dubious penalty won by Fred  and a third by Oscar was greeted by a flurry of fireworks bursting across the Sao Paulo skyline. Croatia had had the impertinence to take the game to the hosts - and score first courtesy of an own goal by Marcelo but the drive of Brazil not to fail on such an occasion proved decisive.  Croatia coach Niko Kovac said afterwards: "I don't think anybody, anywhere in the stadium, saw this as a penalty. If you continue like this you will have 100 penalties. I think 2.5billion people wa...

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger 's relationship with Cesc Fabregas remains close, despite his move to Chelsea. Arsenal secured a first-option buy-back clause as part of the £35million deal which saw Fabregas return to Barcelona Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had considered taking up the option once it became clear Barca were looking to sell the midfielder.  But with the likes of Aaron Ramsey , Mesut Ozil, Jack Wilshere , Mikel Arteta and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain already at the club, Wenger decided his squad did not need another creative midfielder, says the Daily Mail.  Wenger and Fabregas continue to have a close relationship, while it is understood returning to north London was Fabregas' preferred destination.  Despite the fact Fabregas' move to Chelsea has been mooted for several days, there remained an element of surprise that Wenger snubbed the opportunity to re-sign Fabregas from within the club yesterday. Chelsea yesterday completed the signing of ...

Anytime you want to stretch and grow, you are going to have to make changes and take risks. Change is part of life, and risk is part of the change process. To deal with risk and change, you have to adopt a "WHATEVER IT TAKES" attitude. Great achievers are great risk takers. Dream big and dare to leap! Culled from: Attitude is Everything.
