I’m not discussing the CEOs from those scandals. I’m discussing the ramifications of the scandals that have been passed onto present day CEOs. The GP asked what risk current CEOs assume. I linked them directly to Section 302 of Sarbanes-Oxl

As a CPA and now software engineer, I'm observing quite a bit of confidently incorrect or misguided takes in here. For starters, people are comparing EY to McKinsey and other consultancy firms, but this article is discussing EY's

Some preliminary ideas that could probably be refined: 1. Remove non-hacker type content (i.e. news concerning the death of the Queen and anything Trump). Or move it to an off-topic list that doesn’t appear on the front page or other lists.
