Yo EY, why do you currently audit Corrections Corporation of America, a private prison company? Are you just going to talk about Diversity and Inclusion or are you going to put your money where your mouth is?

Someone has to audit them no? You want us to pass it off to you K1?

Seems like people fundamentally don’t understand audit. US law doesn’t require us to take on any audits at all. Smaller audit firms aren’t able to audit companies who operate at large scale, but I’m sure some would try.

If a company can’t get an auditor, their status as a public company would be under question by exchanges. They wouldn’t be able to access public equity markets. And debt markets would require higher interest rates due to higher risk from not having a B4 audit.

Yo KPMG, no endorsement of EY's business decision, but the other Big 4 are probably in there selling advisory services and actually helping them grow the business.

Agreed! We all need to get out of these companies. But don’t underestimate the importance of audit. A big four audit stamp means a lot to lenders, stock exchanges, etc

Respect!! Starting with yourself is the best place to start. Don’t underestimate your ability to make change in your company though - in my experience, leadership everywhere is super reactionary and they’re just as scared and making it up on the fly as everyone else

WTF is that supposed to mean? Sorry I don't keep up with the unethical practices of every industry.

Would you prefer that they do not have accountability over their expenses or financial controls? 🤨

Every big bank has already said they refuse to fund private prison co’s. These things are possible, they just require courage.

What's the ethical concern with a private prison company? Sorry, feel like I'm missing something.

I would recommend watching 13th on Netflix to get an understanding of what the ethical issues are. However cliff notes are that private prisons require prisoners to profit, which means there is an incentive to pass laws that lock up people and crowd our prison population.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills.

For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.
