Week-End: Right Decisions Matter!

I would like to present you a good story about the auditor and making right decisions in life:








"The accounting department dean had worked for the prestigious firm of Arthur Anderson for a number of years. He had been one of their rising stars until he had a tiff with upper management concerning how to report certain transactions for a client. Arthur Anderson management wanted the transactions recorded in a manner which would make the client look good. The Dean however insisted on full disclosure with the transactions being reported clearly and informatively. That wouldn't have been favourable for the client. So rather than compromise his integrity, he resigned from Arthur Anderson and found the job of dean of the accounting department at St. Martins College."
