I got this in an e mail from a friend who is MBA ?what do you guys think about it?
When I told my mom that I wanted a professional woman
as my wife, she got me one; a Chartered Accountant.She
uses LIFO method while taking out the refrigerated
food.
She thinks I am no good at figure work. Fine with me,
for now she handles the budget of the house. Initially
she used to send me a bill at the month end, but when
I told her that I am not her client but her husband,
she asks for the money in advance. The expenses had
been rising steadily over the months, so one day I
snooped into the papers maintained in a current file.
No wonder! She was charging conveyance and overtime to
the house budget. She is crazy, I tell her but she
corrects me. No my darling, I am the auditor. I fail
to see the light.
Every scrap of the paper in our house is filed. She
tells me as per some Ordinance she must keep a copy of
every thing for at least ten years before destroying
it. I am worried.
The other day we had an hour-long fight. Later, I got
to know that she had charged that hour to a client of
hers, in the time sheet. My time was put down as
unoccupied.
She says that she says that she loves me and I tell
her that I love her too. However, she never believes
me. She says that there is susceptibility of it being
a misstatement. Duh! She wants my representation on
this!
Last year our house accounts got a qualified opinion I
had not kept the supporting etc. of my purchases. Not
a long time back my brother's wedding was to be
solemnized. Wedding cards had been sent.
After some time I started receiving a steady trickle
of letters. I was puzzled until my wife was explained
that external evidence was more reliable. She had
called for confirmations from all those to
whom cards were sent.
When she cooks, my wife at times does not go by
recipe. Where the recipe says add half-teaspoon
vinegar, one tsp black salt or one teacup of
water, she ignores them. She says that they are not
material when taken in context of whole meal being
prepared.
She is crazy, I tell you. Surprisingly everybody calls
her an auditor, instead. I checked the dictionary and
it did not state that auditor is a synonym for crazy.
The dictionary must be outdated.
When we got married, she had given me an Engagement
Letter and I Had said how cute-how sweet.Now she gives
it to me every year saying that her standards state
that it must be sent anew if there is any indication
that I have misunderstood the objective and scope of
engagement. Huh!
Apart from sending me the engagement letter once again
she says I can't get rid off her just like that. She
says that she has the right of being heard before I
appoint some one else.
It seems I must keep reading one local and another
English newspaper published and circulated in the
vicinity of our house for more details.
Phew! For a minute, I thought that we had jeopardized
our going concern status. Duh! Dare I say so??
i am told by one of my female colleagues who is
married to a
CA that the scenario is even worse when the guy is a
CA.
Apparently he capitalised the wedding expenses as
preliminary expenses and is writing it off every
year.Also
the time he spent dating his wife before marrying her
is
still under consideration for valuation under
AS-26...valuation of intangible assets.
So guyz please think twice....should u really marry a
CA?
and yes please discount it by the appropriate rate to
arrive
at the present value of the risk of doing so !!!!!!!
