Lobbying History
Lobbying Cycle
Understanding Lobbying
In 2011 Big 4 firms spent $9.4 million for lobbying the PCAOB and the congress
to influence regulations such as
• Auditors sign their own names on opinions rather than the firm’s name
• Disciplinary action against firms made public earlier than currently allowed
• Reducing audit requirements for smaller public companies which would
result in revenue loss for firms
Accounting Industry Effects
• Can the benefits of additional awareness outweigh the negative effects of
forced policy?
• Should corporations have a say on congressional policies?

Education
• Do educational partnerships allow universities additional
opportunities for their students that might not exist
otherwise?
• Should universities allow partnerships that drive the
educational standards of a degree?
• Is it ethical to portray working for certain companies as
the “right way” to become successful due to different
amounts of financial contributions?
