Course Description
Bernard Madoff Investment Securities LLC was the source of the largest financial fraud in US history. The extent of the losses related to Madoff’s Ponzi scheme has been estimated at $50 - $65 billion.

Many are astounded to hear that Bernard Madoff Investment Securities LLC was audited by a CPA. Unfortunately, Madoff’s CPA apparently did not subscribe to the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, as most of the rules contained in the code were ignored. This course provides a case study examining the conduct of Friehling & Horowitz CPA’s P.C., the CPA firm that audited Bernard Madoff Investment Securities LLC, within the context of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct.
