Just had my accounting final. What was amusing was that all the fake companies used in the questions were named after cheesy 80s bands: Banarama Inc., Whitesnake Corp, The Bangles Company.

My favorite was the question where a company had investments in two other companies and we had to determine how they would account for them. The two companies were called Hall and Oates.

Look, if you're telling people about your favorite parts of your accounting exam, it's time to either get outside or order a bride on the internet.

I used to work for the accountancy examination board. Here's one of the great 'excuse' letters we used to get.

"I am writing to notify you of the difficult circumstances I experienced whilst sitting Paper 8 Managerial Finance on Wednesday 14th June at the Plymouth Guildhall venue.

Firstly as a vegetarian, I am very disappointed by the prejudice shown against me in Section C of the paper, with a question that graphically detailed the processing of fish after catching. Although it was an optional question I was obliged to undertake it as it concerned one of my stronger areas of managerial accounting but I was severely disadvantaged because of the revulsion this question caused me.

You may feel that in preparation for the real world of accountancy I should be able to deal with any type of client industry but I would argue that if I chose do so I would be able to steel myself to expect non vegetarian content. To suddenly be faced with this unnecessary question in the exam caught me off guard and I do not feel that I was able to do the question justice as a result."

I assume that Bananarama Inc. is a manufacturer of something that is not fruit related, since that would be too obvious.
