Accountant Responsibility

Accountant Responsibility. Just like it sounds...all the things an accountant should do.

Basically, its about ethics. Are they doing the right stuff for their customers? Are they breaking laws? Dudley Do-right LLP’s accounts do everything by the book, triple-checking numbers and protecting client info with Fort Knox-like vaults. Really it comes down to: do the right thing and and you’ll be fine. Didn't Kung Fu Master Spike Lee say that?

Do the wrong thing, and you’ll have a tough time finding work, just like Dewey Cheat ‘em LLP, whose accountants use fake expense reports and write-off Caribbean vacation homes as business costs. These guys can’t get any clients because they’re wearing stripes behind bars. Their only hope is that the commissary needs a good bean counter.
