Nuggets from the book "Beyond Auditing"
G Narayanaswamy, (92 Years) a protégé
of former Madras presidency Chief Minister C
Rajagopalachari, also served as his auditor, passed away on the 23rd August
2019. G.Narayanaswamy is related to S Gurumurthy, well-known auditor and editor
of Thuglak magazine. He authored ‘Beyond Auditing’, an autobiography.
Some
nuggets from his book:
• Affection has nothing to do with
financial assistance.
• Ones ethical character is as valuable for
success in a profession as one’s competence and intelligence.
• Professional assignment should not be
accepted without knowing the antecedents of the client.
• Satisfied clients become your best Public
Relations Officer.
• Perception of competence has two
components: the speed with which an assignment is completed; and perfection.
• Success is attributed to well-prepared
homework, expeditious disposals and also earnestness
• Success also depends on your patience,
presenting facts in a persuasive and pleasant manner and not to get into an
argument.
• The respect that a professional or any
individual commands would ultimately depend upon his usefulness to others while
knowledge could be improved, intelligence must be applied in all cases.
• Understand what hospitability is; helping
others would give greater happiness; financing is not a desirable occupation;
give utmost consideration to professional opinion; be humble when strong;
finally ego does not take you anywhere.
• Understand the difference between a
debate and discussion. The debate is a discourse where 2 or more people
participate to prove that one’s view is right and another wrong (it is 2-2). In
the case of a discussion, one supplement and improves the ideas of others (it
is 2+2).

Six Rules of aging with dignity:
Words
of Wisdom from Uma Shashikant:
Six
Rules of aging with dignity:
1. Refuse to burden our
children and rule and outliving with them, find a safe and comfortable abode.
2. Accept children help
and support in ways that would not impact their life. Throw entitlement out of
the window.
3. Focus on healthy living
and put up the best fight against lifestyle diseases; accept palliative care,
to manage pain and discomfort and refuse needless intensive medical attention.
4. Seek purpose in our
lives as long as we live; as that might be more important than the elusive
pursuit of happiness
5. Ensure your assets are
put to use by you in your lifetime allocating money for yourselves first,
before leaving behind an inheritance.
6. Focus on giving rather
than hoarding; the best things that life has to offer do not need money or
material; give before you go.
Finally, buy and use a sleek
and stylish walking stick to avoid a fall.
