"Hello? This is Steve."

B: "Hi Steve, this is Mary from ABC Company. I'm returning your call."

A: "Hi Mary. How are you doing?"

B: "I'm doing great thanks."

A: "Thanks for returning my call. I couldn't figure out why the ending balance on fiscal year 2003 didn't match the beginning balance on of 2004."

B: "When I checked, it was matching. How much is the difference?"

A: "The amount is exactly $42,000."

B: "Oh. I know what the problem is. We opened another bank account at the end of fiscal year 2003. I might not have included the new bank statements when I sent over the information."

A: "That makes sense. I'm just glad it wasn't out of my miscalculation. Can you send over the statements? I should be done by end of day since everything looks good."

B: "Sure. I'll fax them to you immediately. Is 555-123-4567 the number I should fax it to?"

A: "Yes. That is the correct number."

B: "I'll do it right now."

A: "Thank you for your help."

B: "I should have sent them over to you the first time. I apologize for that."

A: "No problem."

B: "Thank you."

A: "Thank you. Bye."

A: "Yes it is. We found that we can do the last one here."
