Abstract: My first exposure to overseas consulting work on accounting and financial reporting started when I was hired and sent to Kazakhstan on Labor Day of 1994 to join the first team of consultants of the Price Waterhouse (now PricewaterhouseCoopers) accounting and auditing firm. I was told by the director who hired me that my assignment will be a short-term assignment and probably I will be back by Thanksgiving. In fact, I was back on Thanksgiving, but due to a very favorite tool used by consulting firms, namely “extensions,” I did come back on Thanksgiving holiday of the following year!
