But you can still print them, just to show they're all zero. There's some logic behind this, even though she doesn't understand it, and therefore can't explain even to herself, not to mention to anybody else. She may be stupid otherwise, probably is, but she still may be accidentally right. Omitting digits comes rather close to hiding information and makes your report sort of suspect.

This and a few other things behind the bean counters' logic is something I learned the hard way (some things several times over :), and I'm happy that I didn't have any business contact with accountants for 18 years now. But they aren't automatically wrong when they come up with some such seemingly senseless request - it's the old cats and mice game. Someone used a trick, long ago, to cheat others, and what you have to do is to apply the countermeasure which was invented against that trick. So print the cents.

They have other stupid things than this, far better rant material.
