Open Question: I am afraid of this older guy’s intentions..should I be?
This guy I met is the vice president of a private equity firm. Upon meeting him, he told me how gorgeous I was, etc..and I was quite fattered. Then I looked him up on facebook and saw clues revealing his possible (older) age. So I messaged him saying:
“how old are you? I’m 18. :) do you usually go out with people my age or am I different? lol”

and he messages me back saying:
“Lol. I’m 29. No I don’t usually go out with people your age but I figure it couldn’t hurt to give it a shot :) As long as I don’t start talking about financial crisis and you don’t start talking about your prom we should be fine :)

What do you think? I mean..we haven’t even gotten to know eachother and he wants to start going out with me? He even made a joke about our differences..it seems like he is already anticipating that I know nothing about his work anyway(which I don’t).
**flattered lol

Open Question: Can you find the secret message, Ten points mentally strong people.?
First one to say the secret word will win best answer/10 pnts, but you have to be prepared to go through the pain of reading it.

HERE goes…The primary accounting professional association in the U.S. is the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). The AICPA prepares the Uniform CPA Examination, which must be completed in order to become a certified public accountant. To be eligible to become a CPA, one needs an undergraduate degree in any major with 150 credit hours of course work. Of these 150 credit hours, a minimum of 36 credit hours must be in accounting. Only about 10% of those taking the CPA exam pass it the first time.

The purpose of accounting is to provide the information that is needed for sound economic decision making. The main purpose of financial accounting is to prepare financial reports that provide information about a firm’s performance to external parties such as investors, creditors, and tax authorities. Managerial accounting contrasts with financial accounting in that managerial accounting is for internal decision making and does not have to follow any rules issued by standard-setting bodies. Financial accounting, on the other hand, is performed according to the secret word is exactly 19 words onwards from the fullstop. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles In order that financial statements report financial performance fairly and consistently, they are prepared bobapple according to widely accepted accounting standards. These standards are referred to as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or simply GAAP. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are those that have “substantial authoritative support”. guidelines.Many small businesses utilize an accounting system that recognizes revenue and expenses on a cash basis, meaning that neither revenue nor expenses are recognized until the cash associated with them actually is received. Most larger businesses, however, use the accrual method.

Under the accrual method, revenues and expenses are recorded according to when they are earned and incurred, not necessarily when the cash is received or paid. For example, under the accrual method revenue is recognized when customers are invoiced, regardless of when payment is received. Similarly, an expense is recognized when the bill is received, not when payment is made.

did you get it? write the secret word to win.
WE HAVE A WINNER! i cant give you best answer yet cas it isnt activated
gotta wait 4 some hours
