1:42p - Auditors. What a funny bunch.
Occasionally, there will be a development at work that, although is technically meant to be understood only by the practice staff, gets passed on to our tiny group as well because it might affect the way we market the firm. One such development involves an update in the Code of Ethics that was laid down by the International Federation of Accountants. The IFAC.
Now, I don't know about you, but I would've gone with i-ef-ey-see in pronouncing that acronym. It doesn't take much effort and it's not like I'm in a hurry to get the whole acronym out the door. But yesterday, I had the mild discomfort of sitting through a meeting with a Partner who, without malice or giggle, kept saying I-FAK.
You see how this is not merely a case of po-tay-to/po-tah-to.
