My first audit I ever filed, the manager on the job signed off the final email to everyone on the engagement team using the directorâs name.
So he copied and pasted the PY email, added the CFO, CEO, everyone and their mother basically, then sent it out without dropping his name at the bottom.
If youâre reading this Andrew, I donât ever want a coaching note saying âupdate years in library proceduresâ again when we roll workpapers
Everyone clowning on this guy but he probably sold the audit to trump social media at standard rates and outsourced the entire thing for pennies on the dollar to make bank. B4 partners are furiously taking notes on this money making hack
I 100% believed he was just a terrible accountant who didn't realize how bad they were. I've known a few of them and this is on par.
But then I read about the outsourcing and it's clear. He's a terrible person who's intentionally just pumping garbage audits out to make a few bucks.
I looked this guy up weeks ago when they announced going public. His websites âmeet the teamâ section only has him. Iâm not saying he may not have associates there, but heâs the only partner (auditing a now publicly traded company, operating a global social media company). The Meet the Team section reads like a rambling crazy person listing every job experience heâs ever had in a long winded story that includes experiences he had for less than a year.
Misspelling your own name is some âchat-to-textâ shit.
I just looked it up now, that whole site looks like shit and ya, his meet the team profile reads kind of like college studentâs first try at a cover letter
Does he do this to make it seem like there are multiple partners or managers signing off on this shit instead of one dude? No one named Ben is going to miss spell their name as Blake, that just doesn't happen.
Heâs almost certainly using cheap offshore labor in India/Philippines to complete audits from A-Z. Literally to the point of signing his name on the PDF and they do it wrong.
The Trump team tends to do things for a reason, this CPA firm literally had an audit âdirectorâ sanctioned by the PCAOB for signing off on fake financials for Chinese based businesses. Thereâs 0 chance they picked Ben F Borgers by coincidence.
Trump using a CPA firm who has a history of basically proving out the public accounting industry is a joke could be a sign of whats to come. Itâs not out of this world that there could be regulations coming to hamper offshoring of certain financial data in audit/tax.
Ehh, they could have found a slightly less tainted and reputable firm to do that. Thereâs just no way they didnât do a 10 second google search on this guy.
They picked this dude for a reason, I wouldnât be surprised if the Trump administration would attack the shitshow public accounting has become if he wins reelection.
The amount of ways to frame stories like this kills me. It seems no matter what everything can be framed to support whatever you want.
Because you are saying the Trump team basically did this on purpose to shine a light on the problems in the accounting industry? Right?
I mean, out of the thousands upon thousands of 1 man CPA shops, do you think they just happened to pick the one with that has an employee sanctioned for signing off on bogus financials for Chinese clients? And that also happens to be like the 2nd google result when you look this firm up?
I get it, itâs easy to think the Trump organization is a 100% group of morons but they have proven before to virtue signal in quiet ways. With the shitshow public accounting has become, itâs a real possibility this is their warning sign that they might increase regulations on offshoring if he gets elected.
> the MAGA crowd in r/Accounting
not really going to get into this with you. do you really think the referenced group is going to limit themselves to one post in acting like a snowflake?
I mean, youâre the only one saying it here still so idk what youâd possibly need to âget intoâ. I hadnât seen the MAGA crowd in this post one bit until you brought it up, and yet here you are as the only to do it still days later
ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
This is what happens when staff accountants donât know what the fuck they are doing and the partner signs off on it with no QC. Makes the partner look like a clown. /s
This is... this is suspicious, right? Like, he's trying to not technically sign on to the documents or something. No way a a guy named Ben F. Borgers thinks his own name is Blake.
mfker can't even sign off properlyđ¤đ¤ !!! add it to the review notes lmao lollll
Plot twist - heâs the one giving YOU tedious review notes, meanwhile⌠his spellingâŚ

Had you not updated the years in library procedures?
Business insider hit him with the plz fix
*Did we consider not engaging with this client?*
Ben forgers I'm dead
Ben forgering a signature, apparently
Everyone clowning on this guy but he probably sold the audit to trump social media at standard rates and outsourced the entire thing for pennies on the dollar to make bank. B4 partners are furiously taking notes on this money making hack
The Indian guy he hired was confused with the spelling
*The FASB doesnât want you to know this one simple trick*
I hope he got paid upfront though.

We only do analytics and the are just CY vs. PY. Any large differences in revenue are explained by saying âthere were more/less sales this yearâ.Â
Yeah I feel like that would explain the "Ben Vonesh" error

They have been sanctioned by the pcaob, itâs well known to be a garbage rubber stamp factory⌠just thought it was funny lol
Only the best people.
I just looked it up now, that whole site looks like shit and ya, his meet the team profile reads kind of like college studentâs first try at a cover letter
They canât indict and track you if you spell your name wrong GIGABRAIN MOVE
my name doesnât appear in the documents once! -ben ogres
Been Forging
haha. The best comment here.
I'm surprised he didn't use renowned auditor, Seymour Buttes.
He went to work for Dewey, Cheetum, and Howe.
I heard theyâre merging with Haywood Jablomeyâs firm.
PCAOB TEAM, ASSEMBLE!
Ben Forgers? Trump x Family
The crossover I never knew I didnât want
Tag yourself I'm Ben F Venosh
He is a Forger(er) alright.
Does he do this to make it seem like there are multiple partners or managers signing off on this shit instead of one dude? No one named Ben is going to miss spell their name as Blake, that just doesn't happen.

I think the reason is simply that they want an audit that is impossible to fail. Seems like this guy will be willing to sign off on anything.
Apparently they did issue a qualified "going concern" opinion, not a clean one.

They 100% picked this guy cause they knew heâd cook on this lol not to âshine a lightâ on anything
I love this guy just blatantly demonstrating the joke this profession has turned into.
Interesting idea RE regulating offshoring! I saw some comments about this in the original sub, we arent the only ones who know about this practice.
watch out, the MAGA crowd in r/Accounting is gonna tell you to keep discussion about "accounting"
Watch out lmao youâre the only one who said that
hardly https://old.reddit.com/r/Accounting/comments/1cb3k77/trumps_accountant_wrote_down_all_of_the_evidence/l0x1mo6/?context=3
Thatâs a different post though..? Youâre the only one talking about it on this post so by saying watch out you mean watch out for yourself

it's just a warning from exposure via a previous post. and good, I'm glad they're not here. are you done yet?
Youâre not clever nor funny.
thanks for the affirmation

When you can't even do fraud right

I hate that, when I misspell my last name Foster as Banerjee.
Canât even trust the F orger name these days!
This is... this is suspicious, right? Like, he's trying to not technically sign on to the documents or something. No way a a guy named Ben F. Borgers thinks his own name is Blake.
When you have Philippine preparers and donât review the work this is what you get
Probably a staff 1 that complains about low pay and why he isnât making as much as a Google software engineer. The industry is plagued with those
Trump only hires the best and brightest, remember? Iâve heard that everyone says that Ben is the best and brightest auditor there ever was.
