Today started with many warnings that it will be dry. Finance isn’t something that is super exciting they told us, but it was still a lot of fun. We learned about FM, or financial management, a program that SAS uses to monitor the money that SAS spends, like where it is spent, and how much is spent. That was the main conversation for today, but one story was with an audit-person that came to speak with us about his job. I asked if there were any consequences with a company misusing their money, and he talked about a SAS scandal and how many people that were well known were fired and jailed because of him. I thought that accounting was all about math and numbers, but it really is about working with people and the budget, and potentially putting people in jail!
