We don't need an accountant

After several sightseeing tours, the Dutch businessman expects it finally will be time to do business……

Dutch manager: Well, thanks for showing me your beautiful country. But, will I meet the accountant tomorrow?

South African manager thinks: Accountant??? Silly guy! Don’t need that!
South African manager: Accountant? We don’t need a accountant….. I will show you the books tomorrow…..

Dutch manager thinks: What? No accountant????

Yes, I reconize this. For us in the Netherlands it is very normal to talk with an accountant and to have a look in the books. But for South Africans it seems to be difficult. We had to deal with this many times also, so I understand your astonishment completely!
