One reason why I left IRS for GAO in 1980 was that officially, GAO encouraged professional growth far more than IRS. My Democrat IRS superiors dismissed, if not belittled, the fact that I had a) earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and c) almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. While I worked for GAO, I a) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, b) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, c) became a licensed CPA in 1981, d) became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, e) became a Certified Government Financial manager in 1994, f) became a Certified Financial Services Auditor in 1996, g) became a Forensic Accountant in 1997, and h) completed the requirements for a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997.)

I rented it out 1976-1984 because I was unable to sell it for a fair price. I sold it in 1984.)
