-: I like helping elected officials,
because most people don't understand
that the elected official is the fiscal officer of that unit
and they're responsible for all the finances
and a lot of those people don't have business degrees
or accounting degrees.
So we are the people that fall back on.
So the directors unit are the ones
that are supposed to teach them,
instruct them how to do things.
So I get a lot of satisfaction from helping them.
One of the hard part of the job
is having to write up units because it's required by law.
We differ a little bit from public accounting
because the client picks their auditors
and they can fire them
if they don't like how their audit report looks,
so or what kind of findings they wanna write,
but we're required by law
to audit all the local government units.
So we have to be their auditors
and sometimes there are contentious meetings
and relationships that you have to deal with
and you just have to work through those
and explain to them that you're trying to get to a place
where their in a good spot.
