Peter B. Giblett I thought the collective nouns for lawyers were Greed, Huddle, or Quarrel. The narcissism of celebrities is certainly true.

Peter B. Giblett The need for checks and balances should be a central part of corporate accounting, but these checks and balances should run across the organisation (e.g. the manager who signs off the PO) and I wonder how that happens in an outsourced scenario.

Peter B. Giblett I have often wondered about what would happen if you went back in time to fix a stupid mistake you made, then I think that you may correct the first problem then slip up on another one.
