Tax accountant life in May:
I got an urgent email from my corporate overlords about how I was 21 credits behind for the company’s internal continuing ed requirement (and Eeep, CC’d to admin). I do have 7 weeks to get it done, so it’s nice they alerted me with plenty of time.
Of course, I’d taken a bunch of continuing ed courses outside the company in late 2025 — that it turns out I hadn’t submitted. So I just added 16.5 credits to company compliance. And I’m already signed up for 2 more this month. Based on the email, I went ahead and signed up for 3 internal credits this month. (I may have more external credits but I don’t want to bother looking.)
Which is all to say: this is why I’m taking a banking AUDIT course right this minute. Context for non accountants: Audit =\= tax. I’ve got a list of personal emails and phone calls to take care of during this 2-hour course that won’t be paying attention to.
Multitasking at its finest.
