Not buy stock in Enron for one.

If you have ever been thru a SOX audit (and I think I have posted it before)

It basically goes like this:

22 yr old kid with an accounting degree calls you up.

Kid: "Can you tell me about these numbers?"

rjaz: "Yes they tie"

Kid: "Do you have controls in place to make sure?"

rjaz: "Yes"

Kid: "Ok you've passed the audit, thanks!"
