@reviewmayhutmui PWC is probably still the cream. Some of the people and the products they produce who I have dealt with at 2 of the other big ones are abominable.
@cement Unlikely it will be forced, the split was to separate the audit area from the consulting areas to eliminate conflicts of interest that crop up (Consulting generates a lot more revenue compared to audit work) trying to keep the audits "clean".
The only reason why it would be forced is if either they grow super large and muscle out the competition or commit an astronomically stupid conflict of interest scandal.
@reviewmayhutmui Yeh like all those bad things Goldman sachs did. Like Alan bond. When’s the last time someone mentioned him? Or can we remember all the bad things crown did? Barely.
@rodan6 Memory is split into two. Active and passive. I can recall things mentioned, but it’s not active in my memory - did it impact the VW I almost bought 3 years ago? Didn’t have the slightest impact on my decision.
