Good News, KPMG: At Least Your Badness of Late Didn’t Rub Off on Phil Mickelson

by Jason Bramwell

I know things have been kinda rough lately, Klynveldians. KPMG’s 2016 and 2017 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board inspection reports were brutally bad. The criminal trial starts today for one of your former audit partners who had a prominent role in the PCAOB inspection information-sharing scandal. The firm might lose longtime client General Electric. And busy season isn’t over for another two months.
