its always seemed to be grads at the places I've worked doing the majority of the auditing work and assumed it was like a pre-accountancy role proving ground for those recently qualified but with no experience - but perhaps I'm wrong and accountants are failed auditors like HR bods are failed agents

I remember the last time I saw auditors.

The company was liquidated 3 weeks later.

Strangely enough, on a course about 5 years ago I bumped into an auditor I knew from my second computer job back in the 1970s. We were both juniors then.

He had more hair back then; thin on the top last time I saw him.

He has got the worst buck teeth I have ever seen. He looks like Professor Frink.

When's your first date?

Ah, they're on KPI related variable remuneration! That explains everything!

Por sods. Too clever to be testers. Nice suits though.
