A typical day

Pick up a file: a business flagged by a computer system because something in its numbers does not fit. Request records, then read them. Spreadsheets, invoices, bank statements, contracts. A site visit to a warehouse or an office, interviewing the owner and the bookkeeper. Back at your desk, reconstruct what actually happened and write it up. Most days end with a phone call to an accountant who disagrees with you, politely or otherwise.
