TMI

Can you get too much information?  Yes.

“KPMG Fires Partners Over Leak,” The Wall Street Journal, April 12, 2017 B1. KPMG fired 5 partners, including the head of the audit practice and the national managing partner for audit quality and professional practice(and the vice chairman of audit, after information from the PCAOB (a regulatory oversight agency) was leaked by a now-former PCAOB employee. (BTW, they also audited Wells Fargo when the account cramming was going on, among others).

Unusual to learn of the firing of partners, and the details.  One might surmise KPMG indeed has zero tolerance, at least when there’s no apparent defense.

Another in the long line of crises around information mismanagement.
