Mr. Taylor's small consulting firm specializes in providing internal control advice to his clients. All of his staff are certified internal auditors (CIAs) and want to gain expertise in a variety of industries. Jonas, his most senior consultant, always brings a less-seasoned associate with him for efficiency, training, and general camaraderie. Jonas first assesses a situation in about 8 hours and then will brainstorm ideas the client could use to address its internal control risks. The less-seasoned associate follows Jonas, listens to the half- day assessment ritual, and then helps to brainstorm improvements for the client. Jonas's labor rate is billed at $280/hour, while the associate's billing rate is half that amount.
