As an interest entity, the company is composed of all kinds of people and thousands of positions. Different job responsibilities are different, the technical content is different, some have great power, and some have small power, but the benefits of passing are not small. This gives some undecided people the opportunity to make unfair profits.

For the company, these people are like appendages, and they can't be eliminated if they don't get rid of them.

Roy's audit team is a knife to detoxify. More than half of the team are accountants, the rest are lawyers, and the least number of professors hired from universities are employed. In addition to auditing the company's accounts like a general accounting firm, these people also need to make a comprehensive evaluation of the company's business, work processes, management decisions, potential risks, etc., and give corresponding recommendations. The audited company needs to make improvements accordingly based on the recommendations.

At first, Roy's audit team was not taken very seriously, only as a general financial audit, but when Evan actually held a special high-level meeting, everyone immediately understood the importance of Roy's work in Evan's heart.

Since then, Roy's team has been able to conduct audits without anyone slacking off

In mid-January, Roy's team moved into Xerox, the first company to be audited. In the first week of his stay, Roy's work progressed slowly, and it was only after Evan's support that Roy was able to carry out his work normally. A month later, the results of the Xerox audit were finally released, and Roy personally handed over the three-finger-thick audit report to Chester Carlson.

Out of the importance of the report, Chester set aside half a day to browse the report, and specially left Roy so that he could communicate face-to-face on some issues.

Roy agreed.

More than an hour after receiving the report, Chester closed it with a heavy face.

Roy's report is divided into three sections, namely Finance, Business and Organization, each of which has sub-sections, each of which is audited and evaluated by different teams.

Rather than giving a score like an exam, the evaluation will be done by breaking down what the audit team thinks needs attention. These evaluations are divided into four different categories: "reasonable, recommended attention, focused attention, and risk warning", as the name suggests, except for the first category, which is positive, all others are negative, and the auditee needs to pay attention to it and submit a response strategy.

Chester's face was heavy because Xerox was not well received: the financial item was fine, with only two "recommended concerns" and one "key focus", while the business and organizational categories had one and two "risk warnings", respectively.

The "Risk Warning" category of evaluations is headlined in red on the report, which is not ordinarily glaring to Chester's eyes.

As the first company to be audited, Chester was a little reluctant, so at the beginning of the audit, he did not come forward to calm down when the subordinates did not cooperate. It was only after recognizing Evan's resolute attitude that Chester, who felt bad, began to fully cooperate. Now that the report came out, he was already a little uneasy, and now he can say that he can't even sit still.

Chester has a clear understanding of his role. Although he is the inventor of electrostatic copying technology, the founding shareholder and general manager of Xerox, he is not an irreplaceable person for Xerox and Evan.

The patent owner of the electrostatic copying technology is Xerox Corporation, and the product is already on the market. Even without him, Xerox can still grow as usual. He retains the title of inventor for up to one and relies on licensing dividends. Food and clothing are for sure, but at a time when Evan threatens to move forward with the goal of a consortium, how can Chester be satisfied.

Therefore, Chester, who was full of anxiety and a sense of crisis, grabbed Roy and sincerely asked many questions. Of course, although there are many problems, there is only one core - what should he do?

In this regard, although he usually has a general relationship with Chester, Roy still patiently gave a lot of suggestions.

Because Roy understands that the purpose of auditing is not to make things difficult or rectify people, but to promote the development of the company is the only purpose.

"Mr. Carlson, first of all, don't panic about this report because it's so thick, or because it has so many red headlines. ”

"You need to calm down and listen carefully to our advice and take appropriate action. ”

"It's not terrible to have a problem, but what I'm afraid of is knowing that there is a problem but not dealing with it seriously, which will lead to small problems developing into stubborn diseases. ”

"How to do it, I believe you have a mental idea, even if you encounter something that you are not sure, you can listen to everyone's opinions and brainstorm. ”

"Of course, Mr. Carlson, there's one place I have to warn you of, and I hope you don't blame me for being troublesome......"

Speaking of this place, Roy deliberately stopped and looked at Chester, observing his reaction.

Chester seemed to guess what Roy was trying to warn about, and said, "It's a red warning about the 'organization,' right?"

"That's right, some people in the Xerox department have a big problem with raw material procurement and parts bidding, and I hope you don't get emotional." ”

"Aegis's side has already started an investigation......"

Chester's expression was gloomy, not that he didn't know how to reply to Roy, but he was so angry that he had nothing to say.

Roy particularly emphasized this problem, the relevant responsible person is Chester into the company, which can be regarded as his descendant. No matter what company he is in, the status of the purchasing department is not low, and he wanted to accompany him, so that it will also help him in his work.

Unexpectedly, not long after the company was established, people went the wrong way.

For Chester, it's like sticking a knife in the chest.

Fortunately, Chester was still trusted by Evan, otherwise he would have been implicated for that alone.

After a while, Chester said solemnly to Roy, "Roy, do you think I'll keep him because of my personal relationship?"

"It's impossible, to be honest, I almost called when I saw that item just now......

Roy chimed in: "Good thing you didn't, or you'd have leaked." ”

"Yes. Chester glanced at the word "confidential" on the cover of the report, then nodded at Roy, "Anyway, I'm sure you can't go wrong with your work." And I'm not going to show favoritism. ”

Chester paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "I want to throw that guy into the Pacific Ocean!"

Roy said, "That's not necessary. ”

After the verification, the person will only be in prison for a few years at most.

"Alas......" Chester sighed, and after venting his anger, he asked Roy one last question: "Roy, the report is classified, but I think the problems mentioned in it are not only our Xerox, so ......"

Roy thought for a moment and replied, "Again, the development of the company is the first priority." ”

So, if someone learns from you, just teach it. ”
