Quote:Computers are better at math than we are. Just scan everything and let the computer take care of it all.
And that wouldn't help you one bit. Accounting is knowing what to do and when to do it. The math is the easy part.
Quote:Like you can assign a number value to such concepts as "good will" or "impairments".
Actually, you can.
Quote:Anyway, when DOES this fiscal year thing start anyway? I'm never sure!
Nintendo, Sony, Square-Enix, Capcom, and Toshiba's fiscal years ends on March 31st. Microsoft's ends on June 30. Apple's fiscal year ends on September 30th. Ford and Southwest Airline's ends in December. Palm's ends on May 31st.
You can find information about company's fiscal years on the financial reports, which you can easily find on Google.
Quote:And Gr's passion comes through!
It's because I've spent four semesters learning this stuff and I still feel like I've barely even scratched the surface of what the job requires.
Sometimes you get the scorpion.
