This Big 4 Firm Just Ruined Selfies for Everyone

Posted on by Adrienne Gonzalez

Selfies have always been pretty stupid but we've officially reached Peak Selfie when a Big 4 firm hijacks the whole selfie thing and slaps a hashtag on it.

Meet #SelfEY *cringe*
 

Next time your supervisor asks you for anything, make sure you respond with "Sure! But first, let me take a #SelfEY!"

"I'm going to need that spreadsheet."
"OK, but first, let me take a #SelfEY"

"We booked your trip to the client in Omaha, you have to be at the airport in an hour."
"OK, but first, let me take a #SelfEY"

"We have to explain to the client why we increased their fee this year but first, let me take a #SelfEY"

"The PCAOB inspectors are here and want to see our workpapers but first, let me take a #SelfEY"

"We have to fire the marketing people who didn't do a Google Image search for EY before the rebranding but first, let me take a #SelfEY"

"Lehman Brothers is about to go bankrupt and the financial meltdown will begin but first, let me take a #SelfEY"

I'm going to go put my head in the oven now, but first let me take a #SelfEY

Ernst & Young Partner May Have Known This Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy Situation Was Going to Get Worse

This was in January 2009 after the shit had hit the fan and E&Y’s partner on Lehman, Hillary Hansen, may have had an idea of how cozy she was going to get with bankruptcy examiners, the NYAG, SEC, PCAOB, etc.

Skip ahead to around 17:00 (you have to go to the website to watch) where Hansen says, “We audit Lehman Brothers, unfortunately,” to sparse chuckles.

Zero Hedge makes the case against E&Y (Hansen being the main culprit) in excruciating detail and thinks FSO might be down for the count:

[W]e are confident that (again, with the assumption that we live in some semblance of a sane/ration world), E&Y’s Financial Services Office is done (even despite such ironically apropos warnings on the firm’s website as “Top six liquidity risk management challenges for global banks “), and quite possibly the entire firm. Integrity is the number one currency for an auditor, and just like Anderson, E&Y’s just went out in a puff of green-colored smoke.
