This book is the fourth in a series of compilations from re: The Auditors.It focuses on the failure of MF Global, a broker-dealer and futures commission merchant (FCM) on October 31, 2011.

All of these essays and columns have been previously published in re: The Auditors, Forbes.com, or American Banker.

re: The Auditors On Careers: Being A Big Four Partner

This book is the third volume of compilations from re: The Auditors and the second in a series on careers. This volume focuses on the role of the partner in the Big Four public accounting firm and how that person is developed, evaluated, and compensated.

All of these essays have been previously published in re: The Auditors but have been selected and arranged chronologically for your convenience. This version does include extensive links to other articles and resources both on and off the site. Please visit the original posts to view reader comments. The community conversation and information sharing is one of the most valuable parts of the re: The Auditors site.

Also available:

re: The Auditors on Careers: A Compilation On Recruiting, Salaries, and the Competitive Employment Landscape

And:  “Unholy Alliance: PricewaterhouseCoopers And Its Relationship With AIG and Goldman Sachs During The Crisis.”

This is not a traditional book but a compilation of all of my writing from 2007 until January of this year on AIG, Hank Greenberg, the asset valuation and collateral conflict between Goldman Sachs and AIG, and PwC’s relationship with two of its most important clients.

All of the chapters are available as posts on this site and Forbes.com, but I thought it might be helpful for some to see them in chronological order, all together.

The package includes thirty-three (33) essays including extensive links, almost 41,000 words, and 180 pages of stories about such characters as Arthur Levitt, Joe Cassano, Eliot Spitzer, and Hank Greenberg. There’s extensive coverage of the litigation related to the earlier AIG crisis for accounting issues occurring between 2002-2005.
