Sherron was Vice President of Corporate Development at Enron while Cynthia was Vice President of Internal Audit at WorldCom. Both saw something and said something, kicking off a chain of events that led to the biggest corporate accounting scandal of the 21st century so far, bringing the Big 5 audit firms down to just four, and creating exceedingly large piles of SOX compliance work in need of doing ever since. You all know the story.<\/p>\n<p>In \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/05\/27\/opinion\/enron-worldcom-fraud-pcaob.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">We Exposed Fraud at Enron and WorldCom. Don\u2019t Let History Repeat Itself.<\/a>\u201d they write [any bold emphasis ours]:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>More than two decades ago we blew the whistle at Enron and WorldCom, industry giants whose spectacular falls revealed two of the largest accounting fraud scandals in American history. We know the destruction that fraud causes. We lived through it. We witnessed how unchecked power, collusion at the highest levels and manipulated financial statements can bring down iconic companies, destabilize markets and vaporize billions of dollars and thousands of jobs overnight.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why we are raising our voices now against a proposal by Republican lawmakers to eliminate the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, a watchdog that Congress created in the wake of those scandals to protect against accounting fraud and audit failure. <strong>The rollback of this hard-won safeguard would unleash additional risk into this highly uncertain economic environment and make the next corporate disaster more likely.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, ladies. The next scandal will involve private equity and\/or offshoring and, if it still exists when it happens, the PCAOB will take action well after the damage is done. Mark our words.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The collapse of Enron and WorldCom exposed a broken system for verifying financial honesty. Before the P.C.A.O.B., accounting firms essentially policed themselves. That system failed in part because they often earned far more money selling advice to the same clients than they did from auditing. As a result, firms were sometimes incentivized to go easy on the auditing side \u2014 by reducing testing, <strong>lowering standards or putting more junior staff members on complex audits, for example<\/strong> \u2014 to secure their more lucrative consulting business. This conflict of interest, combined with auditing methods of the time that weren\u2019t strong enough to uncover elaborate, high-level fraud schemes, created an environment that allowed enormous deceptions to go unnoticed.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Side note: NYT\u2019s style guide for periods in acronyms is obnoxious. That is all.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The accounting oversight board ushered in rigorous inspections, enhanced enforcement and an improvement in audit quality that the profession badly needed. Successive Securities and Exchange Commission chairs from both parties have affirmed the board\u2019s value as a vital post-crisis innovation: Thanks to its work, audits today are more consistent, more credible and more accountable, helping to uncover deficiencies that might otherwise fester. The board\u2019s continued vigilance is crucial, as many of the systemic risks that necessitated its creation \u2014 such as the inherently conflicted relationship between auditors and their clients and the temptation of fraud \u2014 still endure. Every organization has room to improve, but any needed changes can be addressed within the current framework.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Their strongest argument is that the PCAOB\u2019s independence from the SEC is \u201cone of the board\u2019s greatest strengths,\u201d explaining to the layman how the SEC has a lot of non-audit business on its plate (\u201ca sprawling agenda\u201d) while the PCAOB \u201chas one mission: ensuring high-quality audits.\u201d <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>That laser focus is critical, and it\u2019s only possible because of the board\u2019s operational independence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In the last few years, the PCAOB\u2019s \u201claser focus\u201d has been on answer sharing at audit firms in other countries. Their largest fine to date \u2014 $25 million \u2014 was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goingconcern.com\/the-pcaob-just-handed-out-its-biggest-fine-to-date-to-some-kpmg-cheaters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">given to KPMG Netherlands after they found out staff were sharing answer keys for internal training<\/a>. They\u2019ve levied several more against other international firms, most notably <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goingconcern.com\/cheaters-at-pwc-canada-thought-sharing-answers-with-each-other-was-collaborative-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hitting PwC Canada despite the fact the firm scored flawless, zero deficiency PCAOB inspections during the period they were fined for<\/a>. PwC Canada gets extra efficiency points from us for maintaining answers on shared drives. Great collaboration there, you guys.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goingconcern.com\/the-pcaob-continues-its-quest-to-appear-as-though-it-adds-value-to-capital-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The PCAOB\u2019s most recent cheating fine was handed out to PwC Israel<\/a> \u2014 the 10th firm to be sanctioned by the PCAOB for \u201cimproper answer sharing\u201d since 2021 \u2014 who also had zero Part 1.A deficiencies (the serious kind) at the time their staff were passing around answers to mandatory internal learning so they could check those particular boxes and get back to checking the boxes that really matter.<\/p>\n<p>According to Cornerstone Research\u2019s 2024 enforcement review [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornerstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/PCAOB-Enforcement-Activity-2024-Year-in-Review.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PDF<\/a>], the PCAOB has levied $94 million in total penalties since its inception, 38% of it ($35.7 million) last year alone. Again, the largest chunk of that has been against foreign firms and for sharing answers on open book tests and training.<\/p>\n<p>Another point made by the whistleblowers in their op-ed is that closing shop on the PCAOB wouldn\u2019t actually save taxpayer money as some have said because the PCAOB gets its money from public companies and broker-dealers. When the SEC approved their 2025 budget of $399.7 million late last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sec.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/2024-204\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">they explained in a news release that<\/a> the accounting support fee totals $374.9 million, of which $346.1 million will be assessed on public company issuers and $28.8 million will be assessed on registered broker-dealers. Indeed that\u2019s valid and if anything, folding up the PCAOB would only add to the SEC\u2019s budget. <\/p>\n<p>Do we need independent audit enforcement? I don\u2019t see many reasonable people making a valid argument that we don\u2019t. What I do see is more than just gung-ho libertarians suggesting the regulator we have isn\u2019t doing the job they were created for.
