A new version of a MODEL AUDITORS REPORT.

We have eyeballed the ball park figures on the balance sheet as of December 31, 19X1, and the related statements of lies, retained deficits and flows of executive petty cash for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's earnings management department. Our responsibility is to make sure we have some justification for their accounting in case we get hauled into court.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards (mindful of the fact that we'd better not lose this account). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain a fuzzy feeling about whether the financial statements represent anything close to reality. An audit includes a general rationalization of the so-called accounting policies and such tests of the accounting records and other unsupported entries as we considered unavoidable, subject to the constraints of our time budget and audit fee.

Our gut feeling is that these ball park figures are not too far out in left field and we feel fit to roll with them as the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 19X1, having been prepared in accordance with generally accepted corporate memos applied randomly on a basis consistent with that of producing a satisfactory profit for the year.
