Way to go Francine. You may have the Big 87654 on the ropes. Now, if you could do the same with the PCAOB and SEC you might be starting the revolution.
the first comment i don’t get; i.e., the linkage to “on the ropes”.
i highly doubt that the leadership of the Big 4, or the some 100,000 employees are worried about the impact of this blog.
what i do think is that the blog is interesting to auditor, auditor-critics and others (who for their own bizarre reasons might care) because the topics are current, salient and often times the positions taken are provocative.
Final Four Guy
Final Four Guy, would love to chat with you offline. Get in touch, if you dare…
Though “on the ropes” may be a bit optimistic, I can say that I have first-hand knowledge of at least 1 Vice Chair at a Big 4 firm taking note of this blog.
