Everyone makes mistakes

Congratulations to Inna's new baby !!!
-------------------------
I made a couple of mistakes these days:

1. One of the major difference between Shanghai and Toronto office is that in Shanghai, there are a lot of new engagements. I messed up when I apply the IRC (independent clearance???) and New Client Acceptance (NCA) and New Engagement Acceptance (NEA) for one of the new engagement. The process is all on the system which means after you submit sth., you can't really make changes until the reviewer sending it back to you. My buddy was really upset after he learnt that I just filed an IRC without getting LCPS approval (not attached the approval email). I still haven't figure out what LCPS represents cos' he kept saying that and assume I know. However, I understand it means the leading partner of the global client. He looked at me so disappointed and said even in Canada you should do the same procedure.... I felt really sorry and said sorry I've never had new engagement in Canada ......

2. I don't use Dear who and who when I send emails. As well, in the email I just say what I need to say. However, my buddy always tells me "be nice and polite". I wonder he thinks I am rude.

3. There is a client always calling me ask sth. about PRC GAAP treatment. I don't really have enough knowledge on PRC accounting treatment so I try to avoid th question. I said as XXX firm is providing accounting service to you, you should check with them on certain accounting treatments. Due to the independence issue, we as auditors could not give you suggestions on how to made the entries. But she kept asking and asking. So I could just go to another snr. mgr for help. He gave me a lot of binders and said you should really study on those regulations @#$%^&*@#$%^&*:(

I know folks in Toronto getting busy now, since I always receive emails saying "Angela we really miss you on xxx's audit". I don't know if I should feel happy or bad. I hope people miss me because I am a good friend but not I am a good worker. However, I really feel very happy everytime I got a message from Toronto. Using a sentence I read in the subway - those emails "changing the colour of my day".
