Οι αποτιμήσεις, ο σύμβουλος και οι αδυναμίες της διοίκησης

Ένας γνωστός μου επιχειρηματίας μου είχε αναφέρει κάποτε μεταξύ σοβαρού και αστείου πως όσοι εργαζόμαστε στις ελεγκτικές, λογιστικές, φορολογικές και συμβουλευτικές υπηρεσίες, κάνουμε τα καλύτερα επαγγέλματα του κόσμου: Πως ενώ πληρωνόμαστε για τις υπηρεσίες μας, δεν έχουμε ποτέ άποψη για τίποτα και πως ακόμα και όταν παράσχουμε κάποιας μορφής γνώμη, βάζουμε αρκετούς νομικούς περιορισμούς για Read more about Οι αποτιμήσεις, ο σύμβουλος και οι αδυναμίες της διοίκησης[…]
