RSM Poaches Someone From Deloitte and Issues a Press Release, Part I

Posted on November 19, 2020November 19, 2020 by Jason Bramwell

Welp, after 19 years of monotony working at Deloitte, Ryan Haggerty will now be doing the same ol’ tedious stuff at the Philly office of RSM US.

We’re just kidding, Ryan. You’re probably having much more fun being on Zoom calls for RSM than for Deloitte:

RSM US LLP has further strengthened its health care industry team with the appointment of Philadelphia-based Consulting Principal Ryan Haggerty, who joined the firm as the national leader for the healthcare internal audit, regulatory compliance and enterprise risk practice.

Haggerty brings more than 19 years of experience as a trusted leader and strategic advisor to the health care industry. He has spent the majority of his career working for a Big Four firm leading the development and delivery of high-quality internal audit, regulatory compliance and enterprise risk services for both health care provider and health plan organizations. He has extensive experience innovating, building and scaling successful health care risk consulting solutions and strategies that align with the emerging risks and opportunities facing the rapidly changing health care industry.

From the looks of this post on LinkedIn about a week ago, Haggerty couldn’t be more thrilled about having left D-town for RSM:

While it looks like Haggerty made a lateral move to RSM (he left Deloitte as a principal), at least he’ll never have to hear this song ever again.

Former Deloitte Intern Not So Good at Gambling on Corporate Card, Lying About It

In blatant-misuse-of-the-corporate-credit-card news, a former Deloitte “trainee/student” (let’s assume an intern, shall we?) has admitted to racking up over £8,800 in gambling debt on his Deloitte issued credit card.

Umar Qureshi, using his Deloitte laptop no less, managed to lose the money in just a couple of months, October and November of 2008. At that point, Qureshi, rather than admit to being a horrendous gambler, lied about the charges, telling Deloitte that they were fraudulent. Depending on when this particular lie took place, he only managed to keep a straight face, at the most, for two months, as Deloitte terminated his contract in January of ’09.

Which is understandable. Gambling can be nerve-racking on its own but losing your ass on the Corporate Card has got to be a real pant-crapper. This makes for the second Big 4 degenerate loser to make headlines this year in the UK. Back in February, a ex-KPMGer really was rolling, slamming over £25,000 on his expense report.

Accountancy Age reports that the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (“ICAEW”), “ordered that the defendant cease to be a provisional member and be ineligible for re-registration for six months, and that he be severely reprimanded.” As we mentioned in the KPMG case, we’re not sure what a “reprimand” entails but a weeklong diversity training with Barry Salzberg could be a possibility.

Luckily, for Qureshi a relative was kind enough to pay the debt owed to Deloitte, who must have really wanted the money back. It’s just principle.
