How I Cooked the Books and Why
September 15, 2003

"It's possible to own too much.  A man with one watch knows what time it is; a man with two watches is never quite sure." - Lee Segall


HOW I COOKED THE BOOKS AND WHY

The explosive stories of creative bookkeeping at huge corporations such as Enron and Worldcom focused a lot of attention on unbelievable greed in certain sectors of the corporate world.  Now Nonprofit Quarterly shares a story, "How I Cooked the Books and Why," in which Phil Antrop shares his story about how he ventured into creative bookkeeping in the non profit sector.  But this story is not about personal or organizational greed, rather it is about the challenges of maintaining focus and stability in a non profit organization expected to meet the diverse expectations of 37 different funders.
