ALL AUDITORS and accountants know that audit rooms and files are awash with swear words, insults and put downs!
It means that even for the most seasoned internal or external auditors working in the - at best - lurid and sordid world of audit the risks of causing offence OR receiving insults have never been greater.
Thankfully, the alternative accountant is again one step ahead and our Swearing & Smut Team has nearly pulled out all the stops to help you!
In conjunction with a leading fly-by-night market research agency, we're compling a database of Auditing Swear Words and Insults to help audit and accounting professionals wise up to the most sordid sayings and lurid ledger lingo.
So do it now! Work through the list and prevent putting your foot in it with the Group Internal Auditor, having fisticuffs with the Senior Audit Partner or, better still, avoid being unknowingly verbally abused by your client's Global CFO!
Good luck!funny insults
