A hierarchy is an arrangement of items (objects, names, values, categories, etc.) in which
the items are represented as being "above," "below," or "at the same level as" one another
and with only one "neighbour" above and below each level. These classifications are made
with regard to rank, importance, seniority, power status, or authority. A hierarchy of power
is called a power structure.

• Partners
• Directors
• Senior Managers
• Managers
• Supervisors
• Senior Trainee Students
• Junior Trainees

Partners are often the founders of the firms. Most of the firms’ names are associated with
the names of partners. They are basically the main parties who issue and sign any report
(specifically audit report) on behalf of the firm. Partners mostly communicate with the
Senior Managers. In other words, the progress of any report and any inquiry is made from
the Senior Managers and hierarchal structure is strictly followed to avoid any disruption.

Managers are inquired of by Senior Managers and mostly manager manage audit field
works etc and after field work managers with cooperation of senior managers makes and
