It kept the auditors on site an extra 15-20 minutes while one of them chatted with the accountant and the others walked around looking things over while waiting to leave. The internal process to fire the company accountant was started the next day. No matter how clean your business is, when any auditor says 'Ok, I think we're all set, things look good' the only thing your company accountant should say is 'Thanks. Goodbye.'  |
I only mentioned I9's because that is a typical government money grab that people who aren't in business don't know exist. There are a lot of government agencies that do this.
EPA,DNR,ICE,OSHA,Workcomp bureau. There are probably more but these are ones that I have dealt with over the years. They all cost us money and in some cases a lot of it.
