The SEC said RSM, which says on its website it is the country’s fifth-largest accounting firm, provided non-audit services to at least 15 of its audit clients, violating rules that bar audit firms from engaging in certain non-audit relationships while an audit is being conducted. RSM also failed to disclose its non-audit relationships in more than 100 audit reports for clients published between 2014 and 2015, violating disclosure rules, the SEC said.In addition to the fine, RSM also agreed to employ an independent consultant to evaluate its current quality controls for compliance, the SEC said in a statement.
Auditing independence rules arent so hard to follow and they're right there as the 2nd or 3rd standard in the guidelines (SEC/PCAOB/GAAS etc). There is no way the firm partners didn't know about those important rules, therwise how did they get their CPA license?

'No bedbugs at Doral': Trump defends Florida club he offered as site of next year's G-7'No bedbugs,' the president says in defense of his Florida resort, which he is self-promoting as a possible site for next year's G-7.
