How about question 51, "What is "Accounting" anyway? One answer is: "Accounting is simply a “process for a pre-determined purpose” of understanding where ”money” came from, and where “money” went." It at least establishes how a professional can connect to a client by answering what could be construed to be a "complicated question" in a "simple manner"! (Or, another words, the "old" Kiss theory!) Excellent article! How about question 51, “What is “Accounting” anyway?

You should also ask your accountant if they can provide you with an advanced schedule of dates they will need items so you can be prepared. Great questions.

The only thing I could suggest is providing a guideline for answers to a few of the questions. I realize the answers cover a broad specrum but most wannabe accountants have answers for most of these that will appease the average joe. Just my 2 cents. BTW I printed these questions so that I can study on the few I havent been asked yet.lol Thanks for the informative article.
