Also, speaking as an accountant, I have to applaud this:
And they want to fix them! The accounting/royalties department wants to make sure everyone gets the right amount of money (at least, on the author's end!) because at the end of the year, our books have to properly balance!
This could be written in blood. Whenever numbers mistakes happen, no one sweats over it so much as the accountant. We do our best to avoid them by putting in fail-safes and mulitple quality reviews because when something screws up, we pay for it with angry clients, angry departments and loads of overtime. We're VERY motivated to be as accurate and responsive as possible.
