Accounting Records

The world record for the hundred-meter dash is under ten seconds. Unfortunately, the accounting record, or at least the time associated with it if you look in Wikipedia, just says, "yes."

Actually, accounting records are the documentation and legalese, along with endless notes and filings that are all part of the senior bean counter's job in presenting properly auditable books to the bosses. The good news for those seeking job security: accounting records continue pretty much forever, or at least while the company still has a pulse. Like painting the Golden Gate Bridge, you're never done.
