WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE MISSING CIETC ACCOUNTANT

May 03, 2006

Radio Iowa reports that Karen Tesdall, the $300,000 per-year chief accountant for public jobs training agency CIETC, can't be found.

I would ask the CEO of Chesapeake Energy. He seems to like pricey accounting help:

Chairman and CEO Aubrey McClendon received $459K in personal accounting services, which brings the company’s total spending on this particular perk — whatever it is — up to over $900K over the past three years. Though we’re not exactly sure what "personal accounting services" are or why the company’s investors are paying for it, it’s hard to believe that any one individual’s finances are that complicated that they’d need to have the equivalent of a CFO working full-time on personal business. Indeed, the $459K is not too far off what Chesapeake paid CFO Marcus Rowland last year.

Chesapeake Energy is headquartered in Oklahoma City. I think I need to get a resume down there...
