Why is Networking Important
Your network can be an excellent source of new perspectives and ideas to help you in your role. Exchanging information on challenges, experiences and goals is a key benefit of networking because it allows you to gain new insights that you may not have otherwise thought of. An effective professional network will keep you abreast of:
- Career opportunities in your own firm
- Potential openings in other businesses
- Industry insights and trends
- Technical know-how
- Forthcoming developments that could impact on your career
Networking is especially important within the financial services industry because it is a naturally volatile job market functioning in an extremely competitive environment. More so than in many other industries, you need to give people value in order that they value having you as part of their professional network.
Global Network Firm
Many registered public accounting firms are members of networks through which they affiliate with other firms for various business and client service purposes. Registered public accounting firms provide information about those affiliations in their annual reports on PCAOB Form 2.
Some of these networks are global in nature. Not every firm in a network is registered with the PCAOB. AcKredited is one of them that have to be independent of audit clients of other network firms, which implies the need for a pro-active system to identify independence issues throughout the network.
