Several years ago, while casually chatting with a friend who worked in finance, the author heard an interesting story.

At the time, compliance inspections had become very strict, and many people working in finance were under a lot of pressure.

Because if a company really got into trouble over financial violations, the people in finance would usually be the ones taking the hit in the end.

So there was this “unlucky guy” whose company happened to have management that rarely followed financial procedures properly. Reimbursement issues constantly turned into arguments.

One day, the conflict finally exploded.

The company’s CEO brought over a pile of receipts and asked for them to be processed for reimbursement.

After checking them, the finance staff discovered that many of the expenses were clearly for personal travel and shopping, and there were even women’s personal items mixed in.

According to the company’s financial rules, most of the expenses simply could not be booked.

The situation froze there for a while.

The finance staff insisted:

“Can’t do it.”

The CEO eventually lost patience and only said one sentence:

“Then find someone in finance who can handle it.”
