You can make red checks with red pens AND in adobe. You have been tracking your peers bathroom usage and over the past quarter you have been tracking at only 2/3 the average bathroom usage and you have forecasted continued performance through March of this year. You have experience working with psychopaths, a-holes, and people hallucinating from lack of sleep all at the same time. You consider a 60 hour work week to be part-time.

You can’t project numbers to an economic future without knowing how economic past became the numbers you now build your assumptions on. If you want to be the best interpretive reader, first be an author. I think audit definitely applies - sales doubled but not AR. Why? Let’s audit that. That’s analytical. Materiality metrics - bank says EBITDA (but it’s not capital / depreciation intensive) is what investors value them on. Lots of fair value accounting - industry values banks on price to book ratio. Let’s consider book value in materiality. Client is wrong. Etc.
