Susan Fassero, Manager of Audit Staff One at Spice Childerhouse, Chartered Accountants, flipped over the weather-beaten, cold-stiffened, blue file cover marked ‘Calder Building Products, First Time Audit For The Year Ended December 31, 1996’. A memo greeted her on the first page instead of the normal set of working papers broken into asset, liability, and profit & loss sections. Her stomach somersaulted at the unfamiliar sight that suggested something very different from the routine. She gazed out of her twentieth floor office window at the bright lights of Winnipeg below in an attempt to calm her coffee-pumped nerves, swallowed hard, and read:
Memo To: File
From: Eldridge Warbeck, CA, Senior
John ‘Spongy’ Garrick, Staff Accountant
Re.: Calder Building Products Audit
Monday, January 20, 1997
