1. "The finance team discovered a major Screwpex in last quarter's reports where IT infrastructure upgrades were incorrectly coded as operational expenses."
2. "After the audit, we realized we had a Screwpex situation with the software implementation costs, which should have been capitalized rather than expensed."
3. "The CFO called an emergency meeting to address the Screwpex issues that were distorting our financial ratios and misleading investors."
4. "New employees in accounting receive training specifically on avoiding Screwpex errors when categorizing maintenance versus improvements."
5. "The tax implications of last year's Screwpex will require us to file amended returns once we properly reclassify those building renovations."
