If accountants had the same mentality as lawyers, they could hire themselves out to the highest bidder and argue all day for their client that 2 + 2 = 3.

How about the Enron accountants who argued 2+2=$111 million?

I believe your criticism of lawyers is well-placed, but I wouldn't hold accountants up as paragons of objectivity either.

Legal's memo to accounting:

"$111 million? Did you mean billion?"
