Non-accountants make fun of accountants; in this book an accountant makes fun of accountants. Grant Tait has been one for 50 years. The ICAEW even presented him with a certificate to prove it. After all this time, he feels has earned the right to have a little fun with the serious subject of accounting. He has found 80 ways that accountants make us laugh, collected into short articles to explain how entertaining they can be.

Accountants sometimes write silly sentences in official documents, for instance in accounting standards and annual reports, without realising what they have written and certainly without meaning to amuse us. They also invent accounting jargon which can reach the level of ludicrous.
