Read more“Opaque” Minter Ellison Billing Narrations Provoke Calls for Costing Change
22 October 2009With a paradigm shift moving away from the billable unit in the offing, the following anonymous comments received from an anonymous Minter Ellison spy yesterday will no doubt add fuel to the fire: ... the vagaries of Minter Ellison billing narrations are probably a major part of what has provoked the corporate community to ask for wholesale changes to billing structures, such as fixed costs models. ... what on earth is "strategy advice"? Is it a "strategic" bathroom break in which a partner ponders how best to fudge his time sheet? These opaque narrations should be queried by corporate clients who should also demand a shift away from a model that allows partners to record seven-figure salaries with such ease... Do you have a favourite narration to get you out of a "low-billing" day...

Read moreErnst & Young CA Policy; Fail & You Pay Us
12 November 2009Pop the champagne corks - we finally received some inside goss from inside Ernst & Young! In response to our post earlier in the week profiling the ludicrous PWC CA policy, we received the following comments from an anonymous EY spy: I'd like to mention that Ernst & Young also has the same policy to PwC in terms of failing 2 CA subjects and you're out. But on top of that, if we fail a subject we owe E&Y $1k (per subject) for study assistance /time off etc. Can you believe it? We already work ridiculous hours to get through the piles of work AND we also have the added pressure of having to study and pass our CA subjects otherwise we could lose our jobs AND owe E&Y $1k! Theres really no such thing as "study assistance" because they're gonna get their moneys worth an...
