The Auditor, an instructional novella written by James K. Loebbecke, tells the story of Jack Butler, a man from the San Francisco Bay area, who goes to college, majors in accounting, and goes to work for a large accounting firm referred to as “The Firm.” The story is loosely based upon the real world experiences of the author, and is written to give students a look into the world of public accounting that goes beyond a textbook. The Auditor not only gives students a chance to follow Jack Butler’s journey up the company ladder at The Firm, but also reiterates the relative importance of conventional lessons learned in school.
In controlling the financial manager makes sure that each department of the health agency is following the plans that have been put together. One way to do this is to study current records and compare them with reports from an earlier day and time. By comparing it’s often shows where you 're going to see the areas that need attention. The manager uses feedback to discover the areas that are not as effective. The purpose of controlling is to ensure that the original plans are being followed.

On an overcast afternoon in Portland, Oregon, on Friday, March 28, 2003, Richard Okumoto intently studied a set of hard-copy accounting documents called “adjusting journal entries” spread out on his desk.

It has always been a dream of mine to be able to return to my home region and help influence the way people conduct business. So when I was given the task to seek out an accounting professional for this interview assignment, I could think of none better fitted than the man who inspired me to enter the field, Darrell Madden, CPA. Based out of the micro-sized town of Hindman, KY, Madden has been in the practice for nearly thirty years and has seen the area’s thrive in the wake of the coal boom along with the demise with governmental regulations that have shrank the industrial working class job market to dismal levels. He has also been a staple in the community, servicing most businesses, governmental sectors and individuals of the area. I contacted Mr. Madden via telephone on Monday, August 3rd, 2015.

I started out as the Selling Business Manager for Clinique in Texarkana store #437. I fought to make that counter hit a million. We achieved the million the first year I was there and continued to reach the million every year after. Now I am the selling business manager for Park Plaza store #405, which is the largest volume Clinique counter in Dillard’s Department Stores, year to date. My team has also held on to having the highest/best service indicators in Dillard’s for the past three years. I had to make many adjustments moving from a million dollar counter to an almost two million dollar counter. Time management is critical at a counter of this magnitude. I had to come up with a strategic plan to insure my business continued to run flawlessly. I quickly realized that my clientele here at Park Plaza was much different than my clients in Texarkana and so I adjusted just as quickly. I had to plan all administrative tasks for the beginning of the week, and book my appointments for later in the day or week, which this new clients actually prefers because they are also on a busy time schedule. Also here at Park Plaza I have made amazing connections with many of my clients. One specific client Ginger McCorkle is a teacher at the Arkansas School for the Deal and Visually Impaired, we immediately hit is off, got to know one another and Ginger became one of my favorite clients. Recently, Ginger and I planned an outsource, at her school for Teacher Appreciation
