Take a position on the severity of the SEC's punishment of Richard Fiedelman of a three-year suspension on being involved in the audits of SEC clients. Support your position.

Assume that you are an audit manager in a public accounting firm. The engagement partner asks you to modify client work papers after the financial statements and opinion has been issued. Determine what you would do in this situation. Provide your rationale.

Evaluate the practice of "materiality" used by public accounting firms and how accounting firms should address it with clients.
