Four accounting students accompanied me to the regular monthly meeting of San Antonio Institute of
Internal Auditors. 

From left to right that is Beatrice Therwhanger, Pauline Glenn, Catherine Spillar, and Justin Mire. 

The program was on a management theory that struck me as a sort ofderivative of the Peter Principle.

Bradley Hunt at whyllc.com presented on a management topic. The idea was a quadrant labeled commitment on one axis and competence on the other. Bradley apparently thought this was of incredible value and should be taught in college. He named the presentaiotn Leading with X Ray Glasses. While he
displayed an old advertisement from the 1950s for the one daollar a pair glasses I neve quite connected the title with the presentation. 

Justin and I sat with the USAA internal auditors. We learned that they use ACL software. And their sample sizes can run to five million data entries.
