If a few episodes of Suits & How to Get Away with Murder are your primary motivation for studying law... it's about to get ugly real quick

A short story:

Watches Wolf of Wall Street
⬇️
Decides to run a hedge fund
⬇️
Enrols for BCom Accounting
⬇️
Ends up counting frozen chicken pieces

To the accounting folks, please post your WORST stock count stories below 👇🏽👇🏽

(You could be saving a life)

I will never forget the time we had a client who wanted to sell a coffin business. One of the juniors had to run due diligence & "test" coffins by sleeping inside a few of them

At that point you reconsider alot of decisions

Based on every reply, it's clear... you can't call yourself an auditor if you haven't done a stock take in a freezer.

If you're an auditor. Have you ever done a stock count in a freezer?

Whether it's a blatant pyramid scheme, dysfunctional political leaders or a mindless church cult, our people are desperate to believe in something

What I learnt helping people identify & get out of pyramid schemes:

Desperation clouds judgement.

These are people like you & I who end up in terrible situations. It's a loan gone bad or sudden unemployment

Sometimes they have so much cash "invested" they're forced to believe

The hardest people to help get out of a scam are the "cult promoters"

These are people who joined a scam early, have actually made money & refuse any evidence put in front of them.

They frequent Facebook groups & are prepared to sacrifice their friends/ family to the scheme.

Nobody is happier for you to own a vehicle than the SA government.

License disc fees, driver's license renewals, fuel taxes, import duties, ad valerom tax, tyre levies, VAT, Road Accident Fund payments, eTolls, toll gate fees, CO2 taxes...

"Taxes account for 42% of the purchase price of new vehicles with prices between R200k & R900k"

Who else is really excited for you to own a car?

Banks, dealership finance divisions & insurance providers.

The Wesbank mobility basket shows 80% of monthly spend are due to fuel and car payment instalments.

Frustratingly, insurance is also becoming much more expensive.
