Selected, Chosen, Included, "In"

By Francine • Jul 18th, 2008 • Category: Pure Content

My family and oldest friends will understand my choice of badges to celebrate the inclusion of re: The Auditors on Alltop, the “digital magazine rack” of the Internet.   

As supercool, ravishingly beautiful, and amazingly popular as I am now, it wasn’t always this way.  My entire eighth grade year I was a pariah. It was my fault our local girl’s softball team lost the star pitcher to injury the prior summer.  I was playing first base and competed with her to catch a fly ball.  We crashed and she broke her pitching arm, in three places.  Did I tell you she was also one of our star volleyball players?  
That was also the year one of my teachers told my mother I was conceited!  I was surprised she could pronounce the word, much less spell it on my report card. 
But I digress.
As I often do.
Thanks for reading and making re:The Auditors an essential source for news of the Big 4 in the age of globalization, regulation,  and worldwide financial crisis.
Thanks for subscribing to the re: The Auditors feed. Please tell a colleague about the blog. Drop me a line at fmckenna@mckennapartners.com if you have a comment or complaint.

    Thanks Cuz. Unfortunately, she was blonde and her teeth were already straight. I was mousy brown and in braces. So that’s not how that situation rolled in the press.

    Francine,

    Having worked in the Big 4 firms overseas and now the US, i admire your courage in bringing out issues that many people are aware of but lack the guts to highlight. I am constantly worried that the accounting profession is one huge gigantic sham. I have seen it too often at my Big 4 employers. Way to go!!

    You rule, chicka. Congrats on being a trusted source of info. (And some really great opinions that irritate a few people!)
