It Is the First Day of Your New Job as an Accounting

question 14

Essay

It is the first day of your new job as an accounting intern. In the elevator on the way to your cubicle, a gentleman in the elevator (that you later learn is the controller of the company)says to you, "A salami attack." Shaking his head, he repeats, "It sounds more like someone being hit over the head with a sausage. It's just a small amount, so why should we care? You are our new intern, aren't you? Well, why don't you send me an email by this afternoon explaining how what is a salami attack and why we should prevent them."
