I agree, some checks and balance are in order.
When the payroll was changed from in-house(me) to our accountants, my position and responsibilities became a bit muddled. I believe that is wherethe trouble began. Apparently I am still responsible for it all but the bookkeeper just processes the payroll and pays bills.
Oh well, it is what it is and it will all work out. I was freaking out but talking it out here and thinking it over, my feeling is that we're human and we all make mistakes. My boss will make his own judgments and we'll see how it goes.
Thanks again and I will keep you posted!
