Cook The Books- #2 Daily Conversation

 

Suzanne : How's work going?

Andrew: It's ok. You know , i think i've told you before, my boss, he's really strict. He makes us do everything by the book.

Suzanne: what's so bad about that?

Andrew: Nothing really. it's just very inefficient. You know , if i could do things the way i wanted,  i wouldn't have to stay late at the office every night. You know sarah in the accounting department?

Suzanne: of course, why?

Andrew: i heard she got caught cooking the book

Suzanne: no way!

Andrew: yaeh, you'll never believe itu. Apparently, she's stolen over $ 25.000 from company

Suzanne: what? that's unbelievable.

Note: Cook the books bukan berarti memasak buku di oven atau penggorengan. 'cook' di sini berarti ia memanipulasi laporan keuangan.
