Why am I talking about auditor again...? Man...I hate this profession. It demotivates me a lot...Nevermind then.
I've watched the movie Pathologist recently and without a second thought, pops out some questions on similarities and differences between the two profession.
Here are my thoughts on it...
(For those who doesn't know what pathologist does, I would be grateful to explain here. Actually, their job is to cut human bodies and to determine the cause of death. Pretty simple right..?)

1. Both auditor and pathologist do audits. The former audits on financial statements whereas the latter audit the "salted fish" (bahasa pasar for human dead body).
2. Both auditor and pathologist has the same objectives in their job. The former's main objective is to check the true and fairness of the accounts whereas the pathologist's objective is to identify the cause of death i.e. whether it is due to sudden death or there's foul play involved. Besides, their job is also to find out the cause of death. (Haha...i know it is a bit weird but just accept it that it is almost similar)
3. How auditor and pathologist form a conclusion based on the work performed? What's the process involved? Based on my experience (correct me if I'm wrong), auditor does vouching all the time and also perform some analytical procedures. All they do is dig, dig and dig. The same goes to a pathologist. They "vouch" or check/examine each organs in the body and note down the weight of each organs. That's the same for auditor as every findings were documented clearly, otherwise you will be facing the risk of underaudit!
4.Both auditor and pathologist also uses tools. The former uses calculator, statistical tables, excel worksheet and auditing software to perform their job. In the meantime, a pathologist uses tools like forceps, spana, playar, what else...? I don't know the names in the sense that I can imagine it but could not describe it in rudimentary english.
5.How about the pay? Both are paid peanuts although they are "professionals". Even a sales person and surgeon could even earn double, triple, or many times than what they are being paid currently.
6.Lastly, on qualification aspect. I believed to become a qualified pathology would require you to study for at least 2 years for STPM, 5 years for a Medical degree and 1-3 years(perhaps) to become a specialist in pathology.
As for auditor, how many years needed? Basically, you just need 3 1/2 years to get a professional qualification to be qualified as a audit trainee. Sometimes, I was even wondering whether it is a bit rush to push so many business grads out in a short time. Where is the quality??
