Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the side of a deserted road Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a halt The driver a man dressed in an Armani suit Cerutti shoes Ray-Ban sunglasses TAG-Heuer wrist watch and a Pierre Cardin tie gets out and asks the shepherd If I can tell you how many sheep you have will you give me one of them? The shepherd looks at the young man then looks at the large flock of grazing sheep and replies Ok The young man parks the car connects his laptop to the mobile-fax enters a NASA Website scans the ground using his GPS opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms and pivot tables He then prints out a 150-page report on his high-tech mini-printer turns to the shepherd and says You have exactly 1 586 sheeps The shepherd cheers That s correct you can have your sheep The young man takes one of the animals from the flock and puts it in the back of his Porsche The shepherd looks at him and asks If I guess your profession will you return my animal to me? The young man answers Yes why not? The shepherd says You are an auditor How did you know? asks the young man Very simple answers the shepherd Firstly you came here without being wanted Secondly you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew Thirdly you don t understand anything about my business Now can I have my DOG back?
