MYOB have a program for contract bookkeepers, whereby the bookkeeper can become certified by MYOB – whatever that means.
To the business client, the result is that certfied MYOB bookkeepers have to charge higher fees to make up for the fact that they, in turn have to pay MYOB high fees for the “priviledge” of being certified.
MYOB themselves should be certified!
They are currently running an assesment course for bookkeepers to become certified. Their timing is impeccable – Simply sit and pass the online Entrance Assessment before 25 October and those “lucky” book keepers will be able to take advantage of (some) great benefits.
MYOB may have the same calendar as the Federal Treasury, and maybe they also don’t really know what bookkeepers do at this time of year. October, February, April and July are busy months for bookeepers preparing BAS statements for their small business clients.
So what can be a better time for MYOB to run an assesment program for certified book keepers than the first three weeks of October!
Any book-keeper who is competant to become certified by MYOB will be working flat-out throughout October to ensure that all their clients’ bookwork is uptodate and ready for the Quarterly Business Activity Statement [BAS] reports that are due on 28 Otcober 2009.
We are at a loss to understand why MYOB would beleive that those same bookeepers would have nothing better to do than to sit for a competancy test just before the BAS deadline.

I read about an actuary who calculated that the odds of a man’s trousers falling down if he was wearing both a belt and suspenders was about 35,000 to one. What would be the odds of a man’s trousers falling down while wearing only a belt? What about only suspenders?
