10 Things We Learned During #AuditorProud Day 2019

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that today is the fifth annual auditor lovefest known as #AuditorProud Day.

Auditors sure know how to have fun, don’t they?

1. Being #AuditorProud makes you talk like a buzzword bot.

2. Being #AuditorProud allows you to attend more baseball games than client meetings.

3. Being #AuditorProud makes you pretend like you have a tattoo.
