Here's a dramatic recreation of a conversation between FNTT and their auditors: FNTT: Could you guys just sign off on this paperwork? No no no... no need to read that stuff. Our in-house accountants used Quicken and everything balanced... so just sign right over here on the bottom of page 1. Irene here has already written out your check so I guess that'll about do it. Have a safe trip home and thanks! Corbin & Wertz: Ummm, well, I'm sure things are in order, but I think we really do need to check out at least a couple of numbers. FNTT: Oh, of course, of course. Let's see. Here's one. Greg Writer's salary was $45,000 for 1999. I'll just run to his desk and grab the canceled checks... Corbin & Wertz: Gee, I guess so... Oh, be sure to grab any receipts of other types of income, like brokerage statements, accounts listed under other names, etc. FNTT: No need to worry about that. Our off-shore auditors have it well in hand. Be right back... Corbin & Wertz: While you were away I couldn't help but notice these letters from the SEC. FNTT: We're all big Tennessee football fans here! Corbin & Wertz: No, not that SEC, the one ending in .gov. FNTT: Oh, of course. They're actually helping us out with "security" issues. You see we heard they provided bullet proof vests for a company in Vegas so we figured... Corbin & Wertz: You know the SEC has been cracking down lately on auditors who gloss over or fudge certain suspicious transactions. I think we should err on the side of caution here. FNTT: So what you are saying is you won't be signing off on our financials in the next few minutes and choosing to accept that fat check Irene is holding for you? Corbin & Wertz: I think we'd like to choose what's behind the curtain. FNTT: Oooo... that sound means we're all out of time. We thank you for playing. Irene has some nice parting gifts for you if you'd just head towards the door... - Jeff Names, events, and, heck, the entire scenario was totally fabricated for purely humorous reasons. Any similarity to actual events is purely coincidental.
