Incompetent accountant

[sadiksojib35]

Signs of an incompetent accountant: keeping records without going into detail, not admitting mistakes, turning a blind eye to failures, not undergoing training and resisting any changes in work. On the plus side, an incompetent accountant knows how to promote his services and communicate well. He cleverly hides his ignorance behind beautiful phrases and charisma.

A practical example: an entrepreneur who was engaged in timber export (before 2022) hired an incompetent accountant. When exporting timber, the accountant had to confirm 0% VAT by collecting a austria whatsapp number data package of documents and carefully monitoring the deadlines for their submission. The accountant collected documents for confirmation (which he was very proud of), as a result, during the first desk audit, he was charged additional VAT, penalties for non-payment and a fine for violation, because the package of documents was incomplete, and the collected documents contained errors.

It turned out that this was just the tip of the iceberg. The business owner ran what he thought was a profitable business, but had not seen dividends for a long time. Planning to sell the business, he hired an independent audit and found out that he would not see accounting profit: employees stole, there was no discipline in the transfer and execution of primary documents, and the accountant had a "philosophical" attitude to his work.

Then the accountant tried to bribe the audit company so that the owner would not find out about his incompetence, but it did not work. In addition, the accountant did not use the new FSBU, mandatory for use in business when trading products abroad, created tax risks due to the lack of primary documents. And the most unpleasant thing for the owner - he was not able to prepare transparent reporting that would be understandable to the owner or potential investor. The verdict is total incompetence, which the owner did not initially suspect.
