Does anyone know for sure how companies make it onto the Fast 50 List?  IMHO,
D&T should not include companies which don't provide at minimum revenue
figures.  You would think D&T as an esteemed auditor (compared to Anderson)
would enforce the compliance. 

I know for certain that in compiling the top # lists, The Business Journal
accepts whatever information companies provide without verifying the claims.
 Not that they have the capability, but in my former staffing agency days,
we listed whatever we wanted in order to show growth from year to year, and
no one EVER tried to refute, or verify our claim.  It was an easy way to
leap frog up the list over competitors.

I think most of these lists are complete B.S., because there are other companies
which are larger or have higher growth rates, etc., but don't respond or
take part in the Book of Lists campaign.

Does anyone have an inside scoop on how D&T audits the entrants?
