&gt;&gt;I think stupid accountants is too harsh here. If you miss that the I in your bosses email address is really a 1 (do you even look at the email address?) How would you know any better?<p>Accountants are paid to be <i>extremely</i> detail-oriented. If your accountant can&#x27;t tell between a 1 and the letter &quot;l&quot;, how can you trust him&#x2F;her to not miss that the amounts he&#x2F;she is keeping track of and paying don&#x27;t have extra (or missing) zeroes in them?<p>edit: not sure why this is controversial. Then again I do have high standards when it comes to hiring people into positions that require paying attention to details.
