Creative Accounting

A quick way of getting promoted if you are an employee, or a relatively safe way of retiring prematurely if you are the employer, as long as you don’t get caught.
Unlike the negative image associated with creative accounting, other creative activities like creative writing and creative thinking are looked upon positively.
