If someone makes a mistake that costs a client money, regardless of the amount, that person either will not realize a mistake has been made, or did know, and now knows that he can get away with it, and go for a bigger chunk the next time around. Accountability is one of the major factors in business, and should be insisted upon.
If you have so much money that a loss means nothing to you, that is all well and good, but if one knows what they are doing, it only takes about 5 minutes to reconcile a bank statement. Banks, and other financial institutions, depend on their computers to do everything for them, but a computer, as with any other machine, functions only as well as the operator is competent.
Just for the hell of it, I will wrangle for a nickel just to show them that they are not perfect, and subject to errors. |
