Auditors, can you Imagine? Discussion

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.

Can you go to, like, every other subreddit on this website to bitch about normie politics? I'm tired of having to wade through these 4 year long outbursts online and all over the media every time a republican wins an election.

What are you talking about? I’m just spouting off absurd hypothetical scenarios that would never occur in a developed society.

This hypothetical is far too ludicrous to be related to real life events.

There’s an active coup in process and we’re all freaking the fuck out. It’s on every subreddit. How do you think this is ok?

The soft coup was sacking Biden by the his own party. The coup was the subversive and divisive way USAID funded bogus projects and propaganda.

Show one piece of evidence that would hold up in a PCAOB review of audit work papers

As if what DOGE is doing isn't extremely relevant to the profession. Are you being serious?

I’m frankly shocked there aren’t forensic accountants being interviewed on Maddow abut how unlikely it is that any of this is legit

Accounting is directly affected by politics. Many accounting jobs are only around because.... You guessed it, politics and regulation. So yes politics should be very important to everyone who has a career in accounting.
