I had a major accouting firm tell to me, I could do something I was not sure I could. I said, "If you are wrong, you are in a lot of trouble." Being an honest accountant he said ,"No when an accountant is wrong it is the client that is in a lot of trouble."
Perhaps Bush is putting the shoe on the right foot. If accountants are paid the big bucks, and sign off on stuff that turns out to be illegal, they should pay the price.
Anderson is history. It will be a very long time before another accounting firm pulls somthing this stupid or illegal in order to get a big hunk of short term money.
By the way, I had a CPA business math professor tell me to
ALWAYS record conversations with accountants and lawyers.
They tell you how to avoid taxes, you do the bad thing thinking the accountant or lawyer
will take the fall for you, but NO, unless you have proof they gave you such advice.
record the sucker, even if it's illegal
