So called "Truth in Lending Auditors"...for real or a scam?
Q. I have recently read of an outfit out in Wyoming that advertises that they will help you find violations of federal lending laws on your existing mortgage. Supposedly, they will then take said information and put it to good use to "encourage" a bank, that would otherwise not do it, give you a mortgage modification. Apparently they would have you believe that all mortgage documents are rife with errors, and the bank will only be too glad to assist you, in return for you not taking them to court. This sounds way too good to be true. Anyone out there familiar with this?

A. SCAM. Modifications are offered by banks for no charge!! I do Mods for a living and it sickens me when someone already hurting financially gives money to a con artist. They end up losing money they needed to pay off a medical bill, credit card or to prevent foreclosure. If you qualify for a modification, you only need yourself and organization to get it done.

What does the last name "Auditore" means?(3O points)?
Q. In Assassin's Creed, Ezio bears the last name "Auditore". In English, the word "Auditor" is from the root word "Audio" hence meaning "listener". I would like to know what this means in Itallian. I also want to know how to pronounce it. Thanks!
Asked by Tess the ScLientist - Wed Dec 29 05:04:07 2010 - Genealogy - 1 Answers - Comments

A. To hear the word pronounced go to the following link and click on the 'listen' under the Italian version...it means the same meaning in Italian. However, the word auditor in English also means one who audits accounts or one who examines and adjusts or corrects accounts...it could be a play on words.

Q. A new IRS auditor, eager to make a name for himself, decided to review the tax returns of the local synagogue. He assumed there were some unreported revenues somewhere, and was determined to find them. He proceeded to interrogate the Rabbi, asking him what the synagogue did with the wax drippings from the Shabbat, Havdallah and Chanukah candles. The Rabbi, pleased to show the auditor that nothing went to waste, responded that the used wax is collected and sent to a candle factory and they send the temple new candles. "What about the crumbs from the matzoh you eat at Passover?" asked the IRS auditor. "Simple," the Rabbi responded.

Is there a Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) that mandates audits NOT be performed by INSIDERS?
Q. The books being audited are for a Homeowners Association which is governed by state condominium law. The state condominium law mandates that audits be performed annually according to gaap. One Homeowner is the Treasurer. They got another homeowner (who is not a CPA and may have little to no financial training) to do an "audit" on the Treasurer's books for the HOA. This would be similar to one employee of a company being called upon to audit the financial work of another employee managing the company's books, or an "internal audit". The company may or may not be called upon to have an external audit, depending on how they are organized as a private or public company. The HOA is not a public company but is governed by… [cont.]
Asked by John S. - Thu Jun 11 13:26:48 2009 - Renting & Real Estate - 2 Answers - Comments

A. Audits are performed by CPA who is independent of the entity being audited. What is being done in this case will be of little value and cannot be described as an audit. There is no way a non CPA can attest that your records are in accordance with GAAP. He will not have sufficient knowldge of GAAP to start with. His opinion will be meaningless on these financials. An audit from a very small local CPA would be about $5,000. I am guessing this short cut is being done to save some money. GAAP deals with debits and credits and does not address audits. GAAS are the generally accepted auditing standards. This treasurer is taking on an uncessary risk by not having audit performed. I suggest raising a complaint with state condo board.
