by Gale Crosley CPA, Debbie Stover

Joe Abriola has a problem—a big problem. Managing partner of a prosperous Minneapolis CPA firm, Joe has just learned that his partners are on the vergeof mutiny. Why are they so upset?

Editor's Note


Gail PerryMay is National Get Caught Reading Month, according to the people who put together these celebrations. I was particularly amused when I followed a link about this celebration to find that a group promoting National Get Caught Reading Month headed up their Web page with the statement, "Exersise Your Brain!" Apparently National Get Caught Spelling month must be scheduled for sometime later in the year. In any case, I'm all in favor of reading and this seems like a good time to encourage our readers to share with us their favorite books. We are in the process of assembling an AccountingWEB summer reading list and will welcome suggestions from our readers - so please e-mail us with your favorite books. Not just business books, mind you, but any favorites, from children's stories to lengthy tomes. While we're at it, we might have to think about putting together a summer exercise program as well - or at least a spelling bee.
