"First of all, you're all welcome." All eyes were on him."To save time, I'll dive right in. Mr. Todd, as the financial officer, can you tell me the duties of an accountant?"There were indistinct murmurings between them."With all due respect, Mr. Grey, I know my job." The middle-aged man answered."If you do then are you aware that the company's funds are outrageously being embezzled?!"They whispered among themselves.
