2011 October – Big 4 partner

https://big4partner.wordpress.com/2011/10

Reforming the Big 4 from the inside. The casualness of references to the ‘audit market’ is puzzling. Everyone uses the term as if it were self-evident what it means.

Fundamental misunderstanding o...

Opening reflections on audit – Big 4 partner

https://big4partner.wordpress.com/2011/10/29/opening-reflections-on-audit

Reforming the Big 4 from the inside. OK so this blog isn’t going to rival Belle du Jour. Let’s start with a few general reflections on financial audit and the Big 4. Cue extended throat clearing as someone wrote in something I once read. Auditors did not prevent the financial crisis. Should auditors have done better and, if so, how? More interesting questions now are why and how did this situation arise and what (if anything) can be done to address it? What exactly do we need from financial audit? Will j...
