Accountants are like auditors: when they are good they are very, very
good, and when they are bad they are horrid. An accountant who ignores
indirect costs is like an auditor who runs from an irrelevant check list,
but an account who actually does his job properly[1] is an asset.
[1] Sometimes management doesn't allow the accountant to take all
costs into account, in which case it's not the auditor who is at
fault.
