Why am I not surprised…how would any Big 4 be able to maintain arms length and not be entangled in any conflict?

Were other options – i.e. non CPA firms – even considered? Why not a gubiment OIG agency…anything but those two firms who are neck deep in this mess with their clients.

No one in Congress is screaming about this? Someone in Congress is always screaming about something – why not this.

Nobody cares about the auditors I suppose…other than plaintiff lawyers…oh the tangled web we weave…

But I digress.
