A Glimmer of Hope in Times of Scandal
Laura Snyder - Director of Marketing
In a time when corporate scandals continue to make the headlines, it is so rewarding to work for an organization that is recognized, not for its unethical behaviour, but instead for doing the right thing. Today, Howard Wolosky, the Executive Editor of a leading accounting publication, Practical Accountant, commended PKM’s Managing Partner, Phil Moore, in his article entitled “Choices by a CEO, a CFO, and an Accounting Firm.” The article, which outlined the legal ramifications of two highly publicized corporate scandals, provided a glimmer of hope to readers at its conclusion. Hope came in the form of knowing that not all companies are unethical. He said, “in all three situations, conscious decisions were made and there was probably no expectation by the participants that that they would eventually receive public recognition at the same time, or that they would have the direct and indirect short- and long-term consequences that they will have.” Thanks, Howard, for seeing the connection and focuses on the positive and not just the negative.
