I’m not an accountant that does reconciliations but shouldn’t there be a materiality threshold? Under $100 and we don’t care?

YUP. Client got a staff, a senior, and a senior manager on a call to get them to investigate a $50 variance….. like dawg this call alone just cost SIGNIFICANTLY more than that.

The one time I will say it’s worthwhile is if there is an automation piece that traditionally always tied out. Otherwise it ain’t worth it.

Why would you be tracking down $0.01? In what world would that not be solved with rounding?

Format so cents aren't showing and move on. No need to figure that out, immaterial.

I did once site in a meeting where a client was searching for $5 and there was 5 people(S, M, SM) from EY politely attempting to get the client to realize it didn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

Why?

F it bro. F it.

Just plug it.

Was it due to rounding? I remember the days of tying items to “0” lol

Write it off and move on

Is this a joke?

Not me. This is immaterial, just move on.

I had a manager insist we needed a 0.67 cent JE for an account with a balance in the millions, because “the auditors would care”. She was batshit crazy.

0 and neither should anyone else .

H1-B transfer question

I recently accepted an offer to join a company (A) . They started my H1-B transfer and I received today the approval notice for the transfer.

However, I accepted last week a (better) offer at another company (B) and they will start soon my H1-B transfer.

I attend to tell company (A) on Monday that I will not be joining them. Will there be any issue with company B filing for a H1-B transfer soon?
