Dear lovely lady helpers,
Embarking on to the main audit I will be slowly uncovering your figures and giving lots of attention to detail. Using a hands on approach I am going to be totally involved and methodically so; leaving no little stones unturned. After a slow scan of your body of evidence, I will start auditing from the top and work down. First, I must stare into those beautiful eyes of yours, they are the windows into your operation. Those eyes don't lie and they can expose a lot of information. Then slowly I will draw back your lovely hair, take your hands in mine and whisper these words and more into your computer memory bank. Nice layout, I think we can make this exercise exciting and an interesting way to explore exactly what your figures mean!
In the spirit of openness, I am also happy to lay bare all my credentials for your full inspection. Yes, I am going to need you to be embracing of the whole process with more then just lip service. Hold it, let me think about that statement for a minute.
Yes, there is a lot to be said for lip service, a lot. Also, while searching employment records I noticed most of you claim to be fluent in French. Tongue in cheek, I say "trust but verify"! Lots of verifying and testing is necessary here to make out what is fact or folly, muah! Many return trips will be needed, WE WE!
Slowly trailing down I am still thinking about France when I encounter your production bottleneck. I savor and linger here for a time, gulp. While continuing to move south, I am always calculating among other things your continued enthusiasm for the audit. Subtle hints, are raising my spirits and more as I arrive at the heart beat of your business. Here, I am getting into some really nice figures. These are mostly soft numbers that represent boom and bust revenue cycles. Using all my senses these beautiful numbers need to be investigated, studied, handled and nursed along very carefully. I love this area, it's my cup of tea, or in reality dare I say "cups." Speaking of cups, these are important cups of supreme supple alphabetical interest that augment the total sales figure. I especially like tweaking those sales peaks, they seem so responsive to my administrations. Moving on for now, I will need to return often to this area. Cross checking these sales totals with other sensitive areas is important.
Next, of interest to the overall balance of my report are your mid range liabilities numbers. Looking for low flat numbers here, the flatter the better. Then again, a little padding in the numbers is better then hollowed out ones. All in all, this liability figure says a lot about what shape your company is in.
A highlight of any female audit is analyzing your broad all encompassing asset figure. Including the most coveted and lucrative accounts like fertile land, accounts receivable and a landing strip. Looking around, there is also a couple of large well rounded assets that shadow a sometimes used Mediterranean time share account. Those well rounded assets look so good on your balance sheet
. Up front and center, the most valuable accounts to the bottom line are looking very exciting. This is an area that really needs my most detailed scrutiny. Your wide open spreadsheet should shine some light on the composition of these numbers. The success of the entire audit is at hand. It's all about skillfully using the tools of my trade, getting feedback from you and concentrating on the needy spots when and where we find them. F.A.Q., Will I be MANipulating your figures? Is that the real north pole you just found? No and noooooh, but it's OK to play with them a little, just don't tell Santa, LOL!!!
Below these important asset figures and all the way down to your footnotes, I expect to see growth and more to enjoy, I mean to like. Any successful attraction has legs, beautiful, alluring legs. No no, here I am talking about a businesses sustained ability to attract customers. What did you think I was talking about? Naughty you for thinking any different, admit it.
Now with the discovery and through investigation of your entire lay out complete, we both will be getting more and more excited to wrap things up. If the process has been mutually fulfilling up to this point, a happy ending is virtually assured. All that will be left, is to double check our figures. Then amazingly, every time an audit with one of you lovely ladies is going well; it seems an urgent hot button issue pops up to solve. Quivering tension, dilation and flooding is evident on your assets bottom line next to and involving accounts receivable. Apparently, MANdatory stimulation in the auditing process and continual cross checking of several key accounts is to blame. Building pent up data at this sensitive nerve center is not being shared with other accounts; causing a backup and system wide imbalance. Demanding immediate intervention, I must neutralize this intense, ever escalating localized feeling; which has short circuited your communication grid's normal flow of information. Luckily, I am uniquely qualified to help with this situation! It does call for me to reopen, maximize and jump back on to your spread sheet. To accomplish a satisfying outcome, varying degrees of my input and hard work will be necessary; along with both of us just plain grinding it out as a team. With tension and a surge of flowing data unleashed, everything is rhythmically siding into place and perfect balance. Climactic audit success is ours. Feeling almost uncontrollable delight the time has come for me to blurt out these words "NICE Psa ASS," sorry I meant, "NICE PASS, PASS"!!! Ultimately, we will proclaim our total satisfaction with an official join press release. There in, adding lots of slang, emotion, affirmatives, superlatives, prefixes, suffixes and accolades to the final testimonial report. LOL!!!
The work often demands re-auditing, especially for those who's audits seem to be too good to be true. After all, it is my job to make sure I expose bona fide figures. Gosh, do I ever love my job!!!!! LOL
Readers, now who said being an accountant is boring? Any of you want to change professions?
Professionally yours,

P.S. Raise? Hmmm, I think you deserve a partnership in my FIRM. All in fun and dreaming!
