4 Highlights /reflections:

1. Like Jamelle Bouie, John points to the power of #footnotes (I was ecstatic). As accountability and also as a pointer to more reading/ material.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Infinite Jest. Have a David Foster Wallace thing.

Taken from the photo, but this gives you the sense of what the guest editor was up to. Sir Gawain Cleans The Green Knight's Patient Pearl' or: The Essential Gawain Poet Sithen the sege and the assaut was sesed at Troye, Ay was Arthur the hendest, as I haf herde telle. Kryst kydde hit Hymself in a carp onez, "Bigog, " quoth the grene knyght, "Sir Wel gay was this gome gered in grene Gawan, me lykes. • . That thou so stykes in garlande gay® And used hem unthryftyly echon on other. 1 The text of this edition has been standardized for pedagogical purposes, but, of course, has not been modernized. 2 These lines, when juxtaposed, as only the Essential Series has done, create the tone of romantic-epic dichotomy so much enjoyed during the Medieval period. For totally unrelated reading, see Joseph Fischer's Die Stabendelangzeile in Den Werken des Gawain-Dichters (Bonn, 1901) • 3 Christ's 'carp' is the Sermon on the Mount, in which eight Beautitudes are specified (Matt. 5: 1-11). For a more detailed exploration of Beautitudes, examine their treatment in the first section of the complete Patience, which, for obvious reasons, was not significant enough to be included in this edition. 4 It becomes obvious, at this point, of the 'special relationship developing between the Green Knight and Gawain. 5 This line needs no explanation. 6 Andrew and waldron, in The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript (Berkeley, 1979), state that 'garlande gay', previously thought to have metaphorically signified the heavenly procession paralleled in the usage of 'ghirlanda' in Paradisio X.91-3 and XII. 19-20, may actually signify the maiden's crown, "due to the fact that the 'corona' (crown) was commonly understood to stand for the circle of the blessed. . . ." But when placed in the context of the essential lines, 'garlande gay' adopts a much different, better, meaning.

See the caveat in the earlier alt text, please. As perle bi the quite pese is of prys more, So is Gawayn, in god fayth® , bi other gay knyghts. Be noght so gryndel, godman, but go forth by wayes, That we gon gay in oure gere that grace he us sende, After the segge and the asaute was sesed at Troye, Iwysse, But on stroke here me fallez - And sayde "With my wyf I wene, Bot that my hede falle on the stonez, " And the knyght in the enker grene.1° 7 'pese' is the old singular form. 8 This is most assuredly a reference to Gawain's 'good faith' before he succumbs to the pleasures of the flesh and turns into a base, adulterous sex maniac. 9 'Gryndel' (fierce, angry) may be derived from OE 'Grendel' and ON 'grindill' (storm, wind). Then again, maybe not. 10 Most critics agree that the ribbon, or scarf, is the symbol of infidelity that is mirrored in the scar on Gawain's neck. But it seems more reasonable to assume that his infedelity does not stem from the Green Knight's wife, but from the Green Knight himself; both suffer similar wounds, and both sleep with the same women.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE ESSENTIAL GAWAIN POET "Awesome..•stupendous...incredible...unbelievable." --Time "Not your usual coffee table book." -The Atlantic "I didn't understand a word. Loved the footnotes--so tasteful." --Miss Manners "I was dazzled, thrilled, and delighta to realize this profession has such a promising young scholar in its midst. We've had the A-text, the B-text, the C-text, and, even, the X-text, but now, at last, we have the text." --Chaucer Review "Gastle makes Gawain and the Green Knight rise to the occasion." --Blueboy "At last, Methods Publishing presents a scholarly work of interest to people working in this most rewarding field. My only critique, the footnotes could have used footnotes." --Speculum

And now it’s off to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, as you have never before considered the story. Plus, the best #footnotes yet.

In an indictment secured by the Justice Department this week, Danielle Hillmer was charged with multiple counts of fraud over allegations that she concealed a cloud platform’s noncompliance with security controls required by the General Services Administration’s Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). DoJ’s press release on the indictment states GSA’s Office of the Inspector General has been involved in the investigation. **Walz announces fraud-prevention overhaul in Minnesota** [St. Cloud Times] Minnesota has drawn national attention for its struggles to prevent fraud. On Dec. 12, Gov. Tim Walz launched a new preventative effort to combat the issue. Walz announced a partnership with WayPoint, Inc., a Minnesota-based company that specializes in forensic accounting and financial investigations, according to a release. **$2.2M COVID relief fraud scheme: 10 Floridians among 11 indicted** [FOX 13 Tampa Bay] Prosecutors say the false loan applications listed companies that were barely functioning or completely inactive. The conspirators mentioned that they provided transportation, healthcare and food services to the fake small businesses. The group tried to make the SBA believe the small businesses were real by filing false tax returns, and by listing fake employees, fraudulent business revenue and costs, officials said. **Black Lives Matter leader in OK accused of misusing millions** [USA Today] A local Oklahoma Black Lives Matter leader was indicted by a federal grand jury for charges of wire fraud and embezzlement after accusations she used funds meant for social justice causes for her own personal benefit, authorities said. She is accused of using the funds on recreational travel to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, food and groceries for herself and her children, retail shopping, a personal vehicle and six properties in Oklahoma City. **Tech Support Scammers Stole $85,000 From Him. His Bank Declined to Refund Him.** [New York Times] David Welles, a retired lawyer, had been struggling with his new iPad for hours when he tried to call tech support. But instead of dialing Microsoft to help him connect his email, the phone number he found on Google put him in touch with cybercriminals. The smooth talking scammer who answered called himself Alex and built a rapport with Mr. Welles, assuring him that he could resolve his tech headaches. Before too long, Mr. Welles downloaded remote access software, both on his iPhone and his laptop, allowing the scammer to burrow deep inside of his devices, where he stored his username and passwords on his hard drive. “A big mistake,” said Mr. Welles, who is 87. “All of a sudden, on the laptop, I could see it going blank, and little lights flashing around.” **Do Kwon Gets 15 Years in Prison for $40 Billion Terraform Fraud** [Bloomberg] Terraform Labs Pte. co-founder and onetime fugitive Do Kwon was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the fraud that led to the company’s $40 billion collapse in 2022 and triggered a series of cascading crises in the cryptocurrency world. ## AI **Amazon Prime Video pulls AI-powered recaps after Fallout flub** [The Verge] _Dunno about you but we’re excited for the next season of Fallout. Too bad Amazon totally bungled this pre-season hype._ The feature is supposed to use AI to analyze a show’s key plot points and sum it all in a bite-sized video, complete with an AI voiceover and clips from the series. But in its season one recap of Fallout, Prime Video incorrectly stated that one of The Ghoul’s (Walton Goggins) flashbacks is set in “1950s America” rather than the year 2077, as spotted earlier by Games Radar. **Deloitte CEO On 2026 AI Plans, Removing AI ‘Fear’ And AWS Partnership** [CRN] Deloitte Consulting CEO Jason Salzetti wants 2026 to be the year when people move away from the fear of AI and embrace its enormous opportunity, which is already driving huge productivity gains for Deloitte customers. “2026 will be the year where people really realize the value of humans in this AI equation,” said Salzetti. **KPMG International becomes first Big Four international entity to attain ISO 42001 certification for AI Management Systems** [KPMG] KPMG International announced today that it has achieved the ISO 42001:2023 certification, the world’s first international standard for AI Management Systems. KPMG International is the first of the Big Four’s international entities to receive this accolade, underscoring the firm’s global leadership in responsible, ethical, and trustworthy AI. This achievement builds on the momentum of ISO 42001 certifications already earned by KPMG member firms in Australia, Spain, India, and the USA. ## Audit **Audit Board to Examine Quality Safeguards at PE-Backed Firms** [Bloomberg Tax] The US audit regulator will scrutinize safeguards meant to deliver effective audits as part of routine inspections of private equity-backed accounting firms, an agency official said Tuesday. Outside ownership introduces threats that could undermine auditor independence and weaken firm culture. Profit pressures could reduce audit team staffing and other resources, said Christine Gunia, inspections director for the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Board staff will focus on those and other risks during inspections of firms that have cut PE deals and those considering such investments, Gunia said at an American Institute of CPAs conference in Washington. **Acting PCAOB chair defends embattled PCAOB** [CFO Brew] “I believe each of these pillars has been a watershed moment for investors in the capital markets. If we consider what life would be like with their absence, I strongly believe investors would be worse off,” acting chair George Botic, a CPA who’s been with the PCAOB since 2003, said. **UK’s FRC probes EY for unauthorised audit report issuance** [International Accounting Bulletin] The FRC underlined that starting an investigation should not be interpreted as confirmation of wrongdoing. ## Tax **CA ANZ formally reprimands accountant who took 4 years to file client’s tax return** [Accounting Times] Last Wednesday (3 December), CA ANZ’s professional conduct committee issued a formal reprimand to a member for failing to lodge a client’s 2019 tax return for over four years. The CA ANZ member was the director of an accounting firm. The committee found that they failed to complete and lodge their client’s 2019 business tax return for almost five years, despite repeated requests. The return was lodged, eventually, in April 2024. **California IRC conformity update – CA 109 e-filing mandate, waiver guidelines, and NOL limitation decoupling** [PwC] Beginning with tax years starting on or after January 1, 2025, California mandates that exempt organizations subject to the unrelated business income tax electronically file Form 109, California Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. Organizations should take the necessary steps to comply with this electronic filing mandate.

Friday Footnotes: EY Gets Its Audit Game Together; Auditor Allegedly Got Bribed With Lap Dances | 10.3.25 _Footnotes is a collection of stories from around the accounting profession curated by actual humans and published every Friday at 5pm Eastern.

See ya._ ## Audit **Inside EY’s U.S. Auditing Cleanup to Reduce Shortfalls** [Wall Street Journal] Auditing deficiencies are expected to be at or below 9% this year for EY as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board wraps up its inspections process for the Big Four accounting firms, people familiar with the matter said. EY has chipped away at the rate from 46% in 2022, then 37% and 28% in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The firm had the highest deficiency rate among the Big Four—which also includes Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers and KPMG—in the U.S. in those three years. EY’s 2025 standing among peers is unknown as the other three firms haven’t disclosed their deficiency rates yet. ## Technology **AI-powered hacking in accounting: ‘No one is safe’** [Journal of Accountancy] “I have performed many cybersecurity assessments for financial institutions, and the urgency just wasn’t there years ago. It didn’t feel real, as not enough organizations were getting hit for it to matter,” explained Chris Tait, a principal specializing in cybersecurity risk management at Baker Tilly. “It’s like a pandemic now, to some degree, because no one is safe,” Tait said. **Internal auditors are putting GenAI under the microscope** [CFO Brew] GenAI is now the second-highest priority of internal audit teams, behind only cybersecurity, according to professional services firm Jefferson Wells’s latest Internal Audit Priorities survey. GenAI moved up three spots after making its first appearance in the top five in last year’s survey. ## Fraud **Auditor allegedly bribed with Rick’s Cabaret lap dances indicted for fraud in New York** [Reuters] New York state auditor Alton Plunkett allegedly received at least 13 complimentary trips to RCI-owned strip clubs in the Miami area, including up to several thousand dollars per day of lap dances. “This was the best trip I had in Florida,” Plunkett allegedly wrote in a message to to RCI’s controller included in the indictment. “The girls were very beautiful and nice. On Thursday night there so many beautiful women. That’s why I do many lap dances instead of going to the room.” ## Tax **Job cuts mean strong 2025 tax season may be hard to repeat, IRS watchdog warns** [Journal of Accountancy] The 2025 tax filing season went smoothly with the IRS processing more tax returns than in the previous year and exceeding its level-of-service (LOS) goal set for answering phone calls, a government watchdog said in its review of the agency’s work. And even though the IRS began reducing its workforce in January, people in critical filing season positions stayed on the job, helping the agency to operate effectively during tax season, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) said in the report [PDF], dated Sept. 29. ## Local News **Texas attorney general tells 4 cities to drop tax hikes amid investigations into incomplete audits** [The Texas Tribune] Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, in letters to city officials in Odessa, La Marque, Tom Bean and Whitesboro, said his office received complaints that the cities either missed key financial reporting deadlines or have incomplete auditsA new law, signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in May, forbids local governments from raising property taxes if they are not complying with the state’s auditing requirements. It grants the Paxton’s office the power to investigate complaints. **Montgomery Co. accountant sent to federal prison for $24 million COVID relief fraud scheme** [WTOP (Maryland)] A Gaithersburg, Maryland, accountant has been sentenced to three years in federal prison, followed by six months of home confinement, for conspiring to commit wire fraud by submitting fraudulent loan applications for various COVID-19 relief benefits. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Maryland, 54-year-old Harold Dotson was part of the scheme that filed more than $24 million in phony CARES Act loan applications between 2020 and 2022. **Emails published in missing money audit report stir rumors about Erie County Clerk’s Office** [WIVB (New York)] The 74-page report by Weaver and Tidwell LLP still stirred the pot by including two cryptic emails McDougall sent to himself in 2022, with the subject headlines “extortion money” and “Mickey’s extortion money,” believed to be a reference to Erie County Clerk Michael “Mickey” Kearns. McDougall sent himself the emails with no attachments or anything written in the body of either of them, leaving people to wonder and guess what they could have meant. And the rumors swirled. The two emails are part of nearly 800 McDougall sent to himself, all of which the auditing firm reviewed. **In abrupt change of course, JCPS postpones hiring firm to help identify future budget cuts** [Louisville Courier Journal (Kentucky)] Hours after indicating his hope to hire an accounting firm to assist the district in making necessary budget cuts, Jefferson County Public School Superintendent Brian Yearwood withdrew his recommendation for the approval of that hire during a special called meeting Sept. 30. Jefferson County Board of Education members were set to approve hiring Dean Dorton during the meeting. A proposed contract attached to the agenda showing JCPS would pay the firm up to $50,000 for its services, with the firm set to begin the work the following day. ## Talent _Is your firm hiring?

Check out Accountingfly’stop remote accounting candidates of the week and take your pick of prescreened, awesome professionals ready to hire as soon as you are._ > Top Remote Tax and Accounting Candidates of the Week | October 2, 2025 ## People **KPMG expands Tallahassee presence with key promotions in government practice** [The Capitolist] The firm has hired Savannah Jefferson, who most recently served as Director of External Affairs for Governor Ron DeSantis, as a Director within its Tallahassee office. In that role, Jefferson was a senior advisor to the Governor and a key liaison to stakeholders across the state, overseeing strategic engagement on behalf of the Executive Office. **BDO USA Welcomes Principal Class of 59 Professionals** [BDO] _They made this year’s announcement ridiculously annoying with an interactive map rather than a list_ **KPMG Appoints James Kroeker as Independent Director to its U.S. Board** [KPMG] During his distinguished career, Kroeker has held several prominent roles, including vice chairman of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), where he led the development and implementation of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and worked to improve transparency and reduce complexity in financial reporting. Previously as chief accountant at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, he served as the senior accounting professional and principal advisor on accounting and auditing matters and led significant initiatives to enhance financial disclosure during critical periods. Kroeker also held leadership positions at Deloitte, including deputy managing partner, Professional Practice and partner in the National Office Accounting Services group, where he consulted on accounting standards and supported engagement teams. **Accountant challenges notice period after duties gradually removed** [Human Resources Director] The Supreme Court of British Columbia recently dealt with a wrongful dismissal claim involving a controller who received eight months’ working notice in October 2022. The worker was told his employment would end the following June, and that during this notice period, he would carry out his usual duties with no changes to the terms and conditions of his employment. However, the worker argued that his duties were systematically reduced during the notice period until he was left with virtually nothing to do.
