Today on WalletPop
The day has gotten away from me, so it’s time for one of those cop-out posts where I tell you what I’m writing about elsewhere. I hope to get back here later today or sometime tomorrow with some original content. I’m actually looking forward to addressing a question posed to me last week by Dennis Howlett, about audit effectiveness and options to audits. As you can imagine, I’ve got some strong opinions (really?) and I love to hear his and Francine’s take on those opinions.
But for now… today on WalletPop, I wrote about…
