Since I was now in charge of the company’s audit, I went to the Finance Department to check things out. I was shocked to find that the internal audit had already begun.
Isabelle Leek, the person in charge of the Finance Department, handed me all the company accounts. “These are all the accounts up until now, Ms. Stovall. Take a look at them. This year’s audit will include Mr. Quinn’s side of things as well, so the workload will be heavier. Mr. Fuller intends to let Harrison Credit handle the external audit this year.”
Flipping through the ledgers, I nodded and felt a headache brewing behind my eyes. “Alright, I understand. I’ll look through these first. Also, can you sort out a copy of AC Credit’s audited data from the previous years for me?”
“Sure!”
After that, I went back to my office with the documents. Stacey settled some things before coming in only to see me with my head buried in a stack of documents. “Ms. Stovall, the president of AC Credit, Mr. Thomas Lowe, just called. He wants to meet with you.”
If AC Credit and Fuller Corporation stopped collaborating, there would probably be a loss of millions. Hence, I wasn’t surprised that he was anxious to meet me. However, Ashton wanted to end their collaboration. Perhaps something happened in between which I wasn’t aware of, but I had no time to spare for Thomas Lowe.
Directing my gaze at Stacey, I ordered, “Just tell him I’m busy. One other thing, contact the president of Harrison Credit for me. I need to meet him. Look up the companies which were recently audited by Harrison Credit as well.”
“Okay!” After Stacey left, I buried myself in my work once again.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening. My back was sore and my whole body felt stiff from sitting for so long. I stood and walked out of my office, finding that there was no one in the office area.
