1 Life Cycle of an AuditorAuditors are a species of nomadic mammals, who came to Earth from the planet Debitor in the1960s. Auditors are paperivores, and hunt in packs, known as audit teams. Each audit team is partof a bigger tribe. There is much tribal rivalry and situations are subject to change as large tribesseek to exterminate one another, but at the time of going to press, the ruling tribe in the audit worldwas PWC (Pricks with Calculators).An audit team typically changes its hunting ground every couple of weeks. Hunting groundsnormally take the form of offices, but may also include factories, shops, schools and hyperspace.Any place of work is a potential source of nourishment to the paper-hungry auditor. All audit teamshave a leader, who runs ahead of the pack in search of an audit trail. Should he find somethingsuspicious, for example a file that has not been organized in alphabetical order, he will begin bayingto attract the attention of the rest of the pack. Once the pack has a sniff of the scent, they arereleased upon the unsuspecting company, and tear around the offices of the internal accountsdepartment, hunting out similar transgressions. When they find another offending item, they will letout a characteristic whoop of delight, and fall upon the filing cabinet, tearing the paperwork toshreds with their bare teeth in their eagerness to devour it.Audit packs have their own dens, known as home offices. The pack visits the office on averageonce a month, in order to refuel on stationery. Auditors can survive several days and nights withoutwater, sex or sunlight but are liable to fall seriously ill if deprived of paper clips and yellow post-its.These, along with Tippex, are considered special delicacies. Tippex is particularly high in nutrients,and swallowing a small bottle of correction fluid before breakfast is widely believed to havebeneficial effects on an auditor's digestive system.2 Evolution of AuditorsAmong laypeople there is a common perception that auditors and accountants are the same thing.Until 4 January 1972, this may or may not have been true. Before this time accountants and auditorshad rested secure in the knowledge that debit was the side nearest the window. This is the firstcommandment of auditing, as given by Journalus Creditus and is believed by all auditors with adeep religious devotion. On this fateful day, however, Pricks with Calculators opened a brandspanking new den in the centre of London. Due to a tragic misunderstanding with the architect, aterrible mistake occurred; namely, that the building was constructed on a corner. The result was thatthe office now had windows on two walls. The accounting world was thrown into a dark andterrible confusion and a dreadful schism occurred. One group believed debit was the side nearest thewindow overlooking the high street, whilst the other could not be shaken from the conviction that itwas the window overlooking the multistorey carpark. The matter was referred to an independentgovernment committee, who eventually ruled that it was indeed the high street facing window.Those accountants who had believed in the multi-storey carpark were distraught and flew into aviolent frenzy with much wailing and shredding of papers. They felt so embittered that they vowednever to perform any constructive book-keeping tasks again. Instead they swore to roam the earth insearch of other people’s book-keeping mistakes, in an attempt to dull the pain of their ownunforgivable error. Initially they were content just to detail the errors in Audit Reports. Therecession of the 1980s, however, meant times soon became lean and it was then that the custom ofconsuming erroneous paperwork was born.3 Characteristics of AuditorsWhilst auditors come in both genders, males outnumber females in a ratio of 2:1. There is a goodevolutional reason for this since the first thing a trainee auditor must master is the art of doubleentry.It is customary for large tribes of auditors such as Pricks With Calculators to send their newrecruits on month-long residential courses to practice this useful skill. For obvious reasons ofpracticality, only one female auditor is required for every two men.In general, the best time to spot an auditor is during the so-called Audit Season which runs fromJanuary to April. Auditors with their distinctive pin-stripe plumage will be present in large numbersin all major offices, factories and places of work. If you think you have seen an auditor, approachwith caution. Avoid making eye contact, as this may be viewed as antagonistic. Should the auditorbegin to behave aggressively towards you, asking what proportion of your contingent liabilities youconsider probable, the best advice is to shout "Enron!" and run very fast in the opposite direction.This will make the auditor in question shrivel up and die.4 Auditors and ReproductionStocktaking is a strange version of foreplay peculiar to auditors. The audit pack will arrive at anindustrial site at 6am in the morning and demand to know how many widgets they have. Theauditors will then spend many happy hours counting the widgets and comparing their results to thefigures on the company stock system. The more unexpected discrepancies that they find, the moresexually aroused they become. If at the end of the day they conclude that the company has beenoverstating their widgets, they will spontaneously orgasm en masse and begin to practice theirdouble-entry by way of celebration. It doesn’t have to be widgets; it could be grains of sand. Solong as its something which there is absolutely no value in counting, it will do the trick.5 Becoming an AuditorIn order to become an auditor, it is necessary to pass the initiation rites of the ICAEW. There is acommon misconception amongst laypeople that these initials stand for the Institute of CharteredAccountants of England and Wales. In fact, they represent the Institute of Calculator Addicts andExcel Worshippers. Trainee auditors spend many years at auditing colleges, where they studydiverse subjects including BF (Better Filing), BM (Being Miserable) and FR (Finding Romance). Inorder to become officially qualified it is necessary to achieve a high pass in BF and BM combinedwith a bad fail in FR.If reading this article has made you feel you would like to become an auditor, you are advised toseek immediate psychiatric help.Retrieved from "http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Auditor"
