If one looks closely one sees that there is no essential difference between a beggar's livelihood and that of numberless respectable people. Beggars do not work, it is said; but then, what is work? A navvy works by swinging a pick. An accountant works by adding up figures. A beggar works by standing out of doors in all weathers and getting varicose veins, chronic bronchitis, etc. It is a trade like any other; quite useless, of course - but then, many reputable trades are quite useless.

I don't mean to sugarcoat the figure on restatements, but I think it is positive - it shows a healthy system. The general impression of the public is that accounting rules are black and white.

As they're reviewing the documents, they make notes about areas where they have questions or concerns about the adequacy or quality of disclosure, holding it up to the rules we have in place. On the basis of those notes, the staff composes something called a comment letter, which is sent to the filer. (Quote by - John Heine)
