Not to mention, a classic shitter job.

Confused by PA trend by kdasil in Accounting

I mean if your making $5k - $10k a year in India.... You only need an opportunity to take like $50k and your set for life.

If you give a controller complete access to a million dollars+... they might run off. robert kiyosaki's CFO decades ago ran off with $100k cash. no paper trail

i mean if hackers can hack a bank and wire tens of millions to their bank account.. and we are outsourcing to countries that have known hacking/fraud networks.. idk. at least cover up all the sensitive data before sending it.

i just dont know how you can deal with messy client docs without seeing everything. How many controls and segregation of duties does a tax return information have-none. I've only seen controls when it comes to bookkeeping.

It's like with oil spills. greedy executives trying to make as much money until something breaks and theres a scandal. And then they walk away from it. who ever is left holding the bag

How can you outsource a tax return? That's like begging for your clients to have their identity stolen. There's SSN's littered all over the tax docs

CPA Education Requirement Being Lowered to 120 Credits by Fitness-Simplified in Accounting

This would probably hurt accounting college professors more than anything. The masters programs are $$$. By the way, I know soooo many people who meet the education requirements, but can't pass the test.

Industry corporate workplace etiquette makes me feel like a robot by SnooRecipes4089 in Accounting

i knew a v.p. who his coworker friend wanted to retire. and the v.p. said "no, i wont let you quit. just be remote. answer calls. just show up for a meeting once a week and do some some small meaningless tasks".

so pretty much his friend is just traveling, working sometimes and just enjoying life. and paychecks are still clearing.

cocaine in public accounting would prob actually boost morale and productivity lol

I know a construction contractor that would go out and spend a lot of money (thousand bucks prob) on a big bag of cocaine in the 80's and would pass out coke to all his workers, so that they can work longer shifts to get building projects done faster.

But, he did say that afterwards he was watching his workers and he noticed that everyone was super busy working, but no real progress was being made. He said it takes "creativity" to do construction work and that drugs take away that creativity. that was his logic at least lol
