Jamal, CPA, works for Gilgamesh Practices. As part of his job, he is in charge of the audit, tax return, bookkeeping, and management services work for the Uthman Decorating Company. Makin Uthman relies on Jamal’s advice before making any business decisions that could significantly affect the taxes or financial statements of his company. Jamal also attends all meetings of the xompany’s board of directors. Because he doesn’t know too much about the industry, Jamal attends some professional development courses in interior decorating. Recently, it was announced that Uthman’s vice president will be retiring soon, and Uthman has hinted that he would like Jamal to join his company with a higher pay than he is currently receiving at Gilgamesh.
