[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in Accounting and I've worked at two places with... questionable practices.

One place was a family owned business and the owner had two of his teen kid's on payroll.  Both came into the office pretty frequently to use the amazing gym facilities we had, but neither actually worked there.  Every so often you'd see one of  them making a copy for the boss or couriering a contract over to another office.  Also, the owner's adult kid's and some of their spouses worked at the office and all of their cars were paid for by the company.  Not only the monthly payments, but they each had $100/week gas cards and all routine maintenance was charged to the company.

The other place did a LOT of padding the books, so to speak.  It was my first job out of college and when I told my mom (CPA) some of what was going on, she told me to start looking ASAP.   [/quote]

Were the cars/gas/maintenance in lieu of a salary or maybe they just  got part a portion of the salary - referring to the owner's adult kids' spouses who worked there.

There's a reason why you never mix family and business together.[/quote]
