My favorites from my days as a Big 4 audit intern:

WFP = waive further pursuit
w/o/e = without exception
CWPY = consistent with prior year
TGIF = thank God it foots (not in the wps. but something I’d always think to myself after adding a 50 page document)
wps. = workpapers

And finally, although not an abbreviation, I always liked the term “Appears reasonable,” which would invariably be followed by “WFP.”

we put WGAF next to small differences. it stands for Who Gives A F**k. to which the reviewing senior would respond “I don’t.”
