As we all know by now, the 89th Academy Awards didn’t go as planned for the dynamic duo in charge of guarding the Academy’s great secret. It’s not like PwC has had 82 chances to perfect the process since they first started counting the ballots. Oh wait, it’s exactly like that.
As expected the Twitterati erupted in jeers and sneers, with some comparing it to Enron which is just dumb because we know that Enron wasn’t PwC’s fault. Compare it to MF Global if you must, losers. Anyhoo, here are some of our nominees for Best PwC Roasts of Oscar Fail 2017. If you have one to add, do so in the comments.
#PwC‘s 500 internal controls cover everything except making sure the Sr, Partner handing out envelopes isn’t shitfaced #Oscars
