The Board of ABC, a large drinks manufacturer, decided to set up an internal audit function. The proposal was appointing an internal auditor at mid-management level who would report directly to the finance director. ABC had recently expanded its product range, and this had created the need for greater control over internal activities. The need was highlighted by a recent event where internal quality checks were not carried out and thousands of units of production were wasted as a result. The board discussed whether to promote internally or appoint the new internal auditor from outside the company and they also expressed concerns over the authority the internal auditor may expect. Although they recognised the post as important, they believed too much authority might compromise the operational effectiveness of other departments.

One script was for the movie "Coming to America" for which he won a lawsuit against Paramount Studios. Art Buchwald claimed that he never knew a movie that made money - a reference to the unique accounting methods studios had. More about that some another time.
A few years back, before everything went digital, movies were shown in theatres via 35mm reels. These reels were the size of a small car tire. Each reel (called a duplicate because they duplicated the master copy) may cost up to $1500 and some movies needed two reels. If a movie was thought to be a potential hit the distribution arm of the studio would arrange for the movie to be sent to 2000-2500 movie theatres all over the nation.
