I'm very curious about this part: 'Brooks went on to say that accounting firm owners “have to safeguard [their] CPA certifications and so he felt that it was not in his best interest to continue to provide that service to the city.”'
Why would providing auditing services put an auditor's CPA certification at risk? (Suppose you read that Aldi was worried about safeguarding its grocery license and therefore wasn't going to sell food anymore. Wouldn't you scratch your head at that?)
I can think of a explanation, but it's not very pretty. I'm hoping someone else can offer an explanation that doesn't make anyone look bad.
