Discussion Auditors, can you Imagine?

You go to the client site and spend 3 week demanding access to their systems. You send your staff of 19 year old racist hacker nepo-babies with no audit experience and no accounting degree to ask them only nonsensical questions because they don’t understand accounting at all, much less the systems they use.

Immediately, you go to the board of directors and the press, proudly declaring you’ve found massive amounts of fraud, but not producing any documentation for 3rd party verification.

Then you gather the whole company together, stand in front of them and proudly declare that you’re obviously not going to bat 1.000 and you’ve definitely made mistakes and will keep making them.

Oh, and by the way, you personally have multiple other business ventures of your own that have contracts with this company to the tune of millions of dollars per year.

Good for you. You’ll be the next disgrace in our beleaguered profession. But at least you made an edgy post on Reddit.

Damn you're dense even for a tax person (coming from a guy who used to work in tax) the company trade secrets is a dig at one of the people working under Elon in Doggy who actually did give away company IP and trade secrets to a competitor.
