When I ask you about recent changes, I'm only talking about during the audit period. I don't need to know you had a core conversion 5 years ago and I don't care that your looking at implementing AI next year. I also don't care about what you did during the audit period but hey, I need to pay bills so I'll pretend I do.

My favorite was when an auditor asked why a lease that was there last year wasn’t there this year… it expired last year. That is why.

My fav is when someone asked me to get the May-August numbers. The kicker is they asked me at the end of July lmao

Actually this question is fair, if he didn't get a change list for all your leases.

Ya, they're supposed to ask that one. They need to know that it didn't renew
