As some of you may know, I am in the process of writing my second audit novella (The Retirement)!
It is about a newly retired seasoned auditor who finds himself involved in a huge corporate scandal shortly after his retirement. At one point during his retirement celebration trip to an isolated cottage, he goes through a flashback of his life. This is one of his career flashbacks:
"he remembered how bad he used to feel when one of his audit reports caused someone his/her job or other negative consequences. At the beginning of his career, as a young auditor, he used to feel some sort of guilt and blame himself for not reporting the audit findings in a softer tone! As he matured, this feeling had disappeared and was replaced with a strong belief in transparency and accountability!"

My question to you: Is it normal for auditors to have a feeling of guilt in similar circumstances?
Have you ever had a feeling of guilt in your audit career? If yes, how you dealt with it?
Please share your thoughts and experience.
