If you’ve spent any time in the last 15 years employed by a Big 4 audit firm, you’ve almost certainly read Francine McKenna’s writing. In the late 2000s, her blog, Re: The Auditors, relentlessly chronicled the blunders and, in some cases, malfeasance of the largest global audit firms. Francine was the transparency reporter for MarketWatch from 2015 to 2019. Her journalism has appeared in Forbes, American Banker, the Financial Times, and elsewhere.

Enjoy this freewheeling episode of Oh My Fraud, where Caleb and Greg talk to Francine about many topics, including auditing in a pandemic, Big 4 impunity, and why we’re in the Golden Age of Fraud.
