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.
