Not sure if it was during and/or after...but a given being after..eh?

It happened just about the same time. AA collapsed on 2002 which lead to The Sarbanes–Oxley Act.

Too many auditing firms were signing off on BS that consulting firms were feeding their clients.

At the time I was working for a hospital which was audited by KPMG. When we met with them they said they were writing a management letter to the board that we were not aggressive enough in our investments.

I suggested to them that they cut that part out unless they were willing to mention Orange County's BK.

They were so dumb that they didn't realize we owned a large percentage of a Physician's practice that was eventually sold to UHC and we reaped a $135M profit. Not bad for a small non-profit hospital.

Edit: The IRS was so pissed they said you can't take it all at once so we had to set up a foundation to give money away.
