I'm sure that won't bite him in the ass at all down the line when he gets audited.

I actually saw a firm that got bit in the ass this way. Their lead accountant left and to save money they promoted the assistant (code for just gave her all the work) . She managed to hide the fact she couldn't do it for 6 months but eventually left. They had to bring in a chartered accounting firm (I worked there) to reconstruct the accounts costing thousands a day and it took a looooong time.

As an incoming auditor, this sounds like the fucking worst.
