And they do work on fixed price basis in most instances. Which is stupid. [.]

fixed prices for compliance work as part of the selection criteria. I feel 2008 will see the efforts of the accountancy bodies see results, in the form of legislation. I see it all too often when my accountants are rejected purely on price alone. I’m more in favour of creating a shortlist of 3 and insisting on 1.

As more and more people work from home, it is no longer necessary to move to the big city to earn a living and pay inflated prices for the privilege. Sometimes, it might take some forms of wake up call to make us realise that a corporate job is not for life! Digg Furl Netscape Yahoo!

More sales are lost by “selling” than any other form of sales error. I mean the real motive, not the surface one like price or friendship.

Paper accounts will still need to be prepared for shareholders in proper form, but government will require them to be tagged to comply with their iXBRL standards.
