UPDATED: KPMG Celebrates Summer With Ice Cream Packages For Loyal Servants

Posted on by Adrienne Gonzalez

Really, KPMG? Buying folks off with ice cream?! I haven't had the pleasure of indulging in an ice cream social since I was a young, un-tattooed suburbanite in Wisconsin, so that would have been maybe 6th grade. Anyway, here's what KPMG has scheduled for their ice cream-loving associates slaving away in San Francisco per a tipster:

Hi Going Concern,

I'm excited to inform you that summer ice cream is back at KPMG!  But sadly, there are no steaks in sight as yet (I'm not holding out much hope, though).  Feel free to post so all the non-lactose-intolerant suckas at the other Big 4 with their higher salaries and giant bonuses can commence their dairy envy.

See attached announcements.

Enjoy!

SF office partner Richard Austin told his loyal subjects "to celebrate [our centennial summer], and how much we appreciate your efforts, grab a spoon and 'dig in' to our way of saying thanks!"… Isn't that sweet? No pun intended, of course.

Dig in, SF KPMGers! Lord knows you've earned it.

Somehow Deloitte Gets Roped Into a Chicago Political Scandal

Rod Blagojevich.jpgBig D is probably just a pawn in the whole game but it serves as a nice example of how Illinois political tomfoolery touches just about anyone and everyone.
And Rod Blagojevich is just ridiculous and not relevant for this story but his picture seems to work here, so deal with it.
A criminal investigation into Cook County Board President Todd Stroger that started with questions surrounding the hiring, promotion, and firing of a busboy. Stroger then fired his own cousin, “the county’s chief financial officer amid questions about her dealings with [Tony] Cole.”
Cole is said busboy who must have made a move on Stroger’s cousin but enough speculation. The investigation has now grown wider as prosecutors have now subpoenaed Deloitte.

Chicago Tribune:

Prosecutors have ordered Deloitte & Touche LLP, the county’s auditors, to turn over “certain documents” pertaining to the 2008 audit of county finances, according to a memo from County Board Finance Committee Chairman John Daley (D-Chicago), who also heads the Audit Committee. Deloitte personnel “may serve as witnesses to a current grand jury investigation,” according to an attached letter sent to Stroger from Deloitte’s Tracey Guidry.

It should be noted that John is the brother of Richard, the Mayor who was elected around the time when the Cubs last won the World Series.
The only word on the documents are that they were used in the ‘customary preparation’ of the audit, according to the Sun-Times.
Safe money is on at least one resignation/removal from office and a small fortune being discovered to have passed through various channels of the City Hall.

IRS Eases Up on the Tax Liens for the Little People; Celebrities Not So Lucky

Commissioner Doug Shulman said in a statement today that the agency would make it easier for taxpayers to seek withdrawal of liens when they pay a tax debt or make arrangements to pay in installments for debts of less than $25,000. The agency also raised the dollar thresholds before liens are typically filed. “We are making fundamental changes to our lien system and other collection tools that will help taxpayers and give them a fresh start,” Shulman said in the statement. “These steps are good for people facing tough times, and they reflect a responsible approach for the tax system.” [Bloomberg]
