Whether you like it or not, Arthur Anderson lost its license to do business due to a successful criminal prosecution. (That, plus more arrogance than that of every Ivy League and Notre Dame college grad, added up and squared.)
But some of Arthur persisted: their IT consulting business, known as Accenture. (Accenture brought along the arrogance, too.)
However...
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) mistakenly released the private data of roughly 112,000 taxpayers in September and again in late November, the agency disclosed Thursday.
An IRS programming error in September caused the release of 112,000 individual 990-T forms, a form used by IRA holders to report retirement account assets....
Well.....not exactly "the IRS."
...An independent researcher alerted the IRS on Dec.1 after noticing the files were still online, and the IRS ordered the contractor to immediately take them down, Bloomberg reported. The IRS is reconsidering its relationship with consulting firm Accenture, the contractor for the database....
Not likely Accenture will lose the work; they're far too well embedded with TPTB.
But they deserve a good kick in the ass.
