Do not upset auditors. They can do very unpleasant things to companies. So if you are going to hang yourself, please do it quietly, and don't disturb them. And preferably, not on works time.

Have you never considered a career in the exciting world of auditing? It is the ideal job for young thrusting people who wish to climb quickly up the accountancy stepladder. Apply today and start your career of wandering around other peoples offices and looking at small pieces of paper! I was an auditor for three years (obligatory training for accountants) and found it to be the most boring aspect of my career so far. Don't hang yourself, you will only be assessed as a depreciation of capital asset.

And, for an accountant to describe it as boring is like a train spotter calling a bus spotter sad.

Well I have no desire to climb any ladder in accountancy, neither can I class my self as young anymore :sigh:

Nope. You are a resource, slightly less valuable than a paperclip. That seems to be the thinking that drives so many companies to have "Human Resources" departments.

You forgot to add that the rope and method(s) used should meet the requisite standards for such an activity.

Sadly, 'tis true. I love doing cost analysis or budget forecasts, I can use my brain for that but to do auditing is just donkey work that anyone with a piece of paper and half a brain can manage.

Auditors don't care about health or safety, as long as you don't damage a company asset (i.e. the rope) during the activity. Liabilities like developers are neither here nor there.

My dad became an internal auditor with Customs & Excise towards the end of his career. Auditing systems and processes and stuff like that, not accounts. However it instantly turned him into one of the most boring men in the world, something he has been unable to shake off since he retired.

It would be possible to claim a tax relief on a capital investment programme, ie buying a new rope, although recycling rules would have to be enforced on the disposal of the old rope in accordance to EU directives on Rope Untwiddling and Strand Tapering.

Surely you would have to prove that the old rope had been fully depreciated first?

Of course, you could show them the full depreciation figures, and then the cash received. This is noted in the accounts as "Money for old rope".
