iirc, 6 people got fired? that means they took that information from the "lone wolf PCAOB employee" and used it to their advantage... fundamentally unethical, and seriously calls into question the integrity of the firm to the highest level. and 9 million is a drop in the bucket, a slap on the wrist. think about that tomorrow when you go to work at your "big 4" firm

also, agree with pwc3. Oscar blunder was for sure embarrassing, but does it have anything to do with the firm's actual business/purpose? one drunk partner's in-the-moment mistake doesn't affect the firm's reputation with audit committees. can you say the same about this fiasco?

I’ve long disliked the term ethics. Definitions of ethics all refer to morals. Morals are very personal and vary a lot from person to person, culture to culture. Law is how we as a society express our preferences and impose rules and restrictions on ourselves. So the question should never be about whether companies can be ethical. What does that mean? One person thinks eating meat is unethical, another thinks it’s perfectly ethical. Companies should focus on complying with the law.
