Oh, joy. It's audit time again. The auditor and I have been doing our little email dance today. He writes a management letter outlining all the (very minor, I must say) things I have done wrong through the year, but he first sends me a draft of it in case I have a reasonable explanation for my actions. And I don't, usually, because it's stuff like: 'We notice Alicia entered one invoice dated 12/10/10 as 10/12/10'. That used to upset me greatly, until my boss pointed out that if occasionally putting the wrong date on something is the worst thing they can find, I am doing all right. (What he actually said was, 'It means they haven't realised how much we're embezzling yet, hahaha,' which I hope I don't have to clarify was a joke.)

Anyway, the auditor sends his draft letter along with the draft financial statements, so after I read what holes he has been picking in my work, I get to review the financials and pick holes in his work. Today I found: 'there was two committee meetings', 'finalised it's merger' and, bizarrely, something about 'voiding cherubs'. Given the context, he was talking about voiding cheques, but I don't see how the cheque/cherub mistake would happen.
