I worked for a Big 6 company back in the day (1990’s). You’d know the name but I won’t say who it is (don’t bother FReepmailing). I watched as my bosses buried a client in mountains of paperwork. We were assigned the task of sitting in a conference room an entire weekend, basically marking all the places to change out the name.

You know the client was never going to read more than about 5 pages out of 5,000. And just keep paying the bills on the engagement.

And that's just the EPA regulations. Imagine how long the entire legal code is.
