All of Herbalife’s potential new auditors might either be unsuitable or have conflicts of interest that could preclude them from taking on the job. If that were to happen, it could force the company to seek a solution from the Securities and Exchange Commission — in the form of a potential exemption from rules intended to make sure an auditor doesn’t get too close to its client.
