What distinguishes normal accountants from these apparently corrupt "government-sponsored accountants" who "cook the books"? Do they have pointy ears or forked tongues?

Normal accountants don't have 300 pages of federal regulations telling them exactly how they need to lie in their reports.

They have 20 pages of corporate guidelines telling them how they have to lie. Zing!
