Ironic Photo of the Day: Paperless Audit Edition

Posted on November 12, 2009 by Caleb Newquist

A friend of GC passed along the following photo:

Telling us: “This is our paperless audit training. An associate had to print out 46 copies. He stayed late on Friday and used three printers.”
Oh the humanity.

The Year Ahead Poll Results

  • Caleb Newquist
  • September 29, 2009

The voting ended last night and we know your anticipation is reaching fever pitch so we’ve finally presented the results, after the jump.


1. White Collar Slavery: 47.3%
2. Happiness Rating: Zero: 26%
3. Swap Green Visors:13.7%
4. Big Four Union: 13%
Troubling news as you can see. Nearly 75% of you are expecting to be underpaid and miserable. We recommend that you start some sort of cash only business and get your asses into therapy.
The bottom 27% of you seem to be proactive at least but 13% of you may be viewed by some as socialists. However, that seems to be the hot thing these days so we say go for it.

Partners at Grant Thornton are Just Getting Lazy

  • Caleb Newquist
  • July 8, 2009

Grant-thornton-logo.JPGGrant Thornton is really making our lives easy today: “Grant Thornton has agreed to pay nearly £6,000 in fines and costs after it failed to correctly sign off 43 audit reports.”
Measly fine, obv but 43 audit reports? And a incorrectly signed off report is one that, “had not been signed off by a responsible individual of the firm”.
So apparently the Brits have got their interns signing off on the audits. Gold star for you today, GT.
