  • Deloitte Caught Making AI Workslop, IRS Shutdown Continues

    Deloitte Caught Making AI Workslop, IRS Shutdown Continues
    Oct 16 2025
    Could an AI catch what auditors and a CFO missed? This week, Blake and David unpack how a founder used Claude to scan QuickBooks and uncover a $2.1M embezzlement in 18 minutes. They also tackle Deloitte’s AI ‘workslop’ refund, shutdown-driven IRS and air travel woes, the IRS’s new “CEO” and crypto ties, OpenAI’s personal finance play, EY’s audit rebound, BDO’s ESOP squeeze, and crypto funds courting CPA clients.SponsorsCloud Accountant Staffing - http://accountingpodcast.promo/cas Rippling - http://accountingpodcast.promo/ripplingAssembly - http://accountingpodcast.promo/assemblyChapters(01:35) - Deloitte's AI Report Scandal (09:05) - Government Shutdown Impact on IRS and Air Travel (23:56) - AI in Accounting: Risks and Opportunities (34:49) - Competing with the Status Quo (35:38) - Pricing Bookkeeping Services (36:31) - Standardizing Services Based on Price (37:14) - Client Needs vs. Service Offerings (38:00) - The Monthly Close Obsession (40:01) - Broken Charts in Financial Reports (43:15) - Cracker Barrel Logo Controversy (47:08) - EY's Audit Quality Turnaround (49:53) - Crypto Investment Schemes (55:48) - BDO's Financial Struggles (01:00:34) - Conclusion and Announcements Show NotesDeloitte to partially refund Australia for report with apparent AI-generated errors https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/deloitte-partially-refund-australian-government-report-apparent-ai-126281611Claude Exposed My Co-Founder's $2M Theft — AI Evidence Turned Into Lawsuit https://techbullion.com/claude-exposed-my-co-founders-2m-theft-ai-evidence-turned-into-lawsuit/New Research: 20% of Americans use AI tools 10X+/month, but growth is slowing and traditional search hasn't dippedhttps://sparktoro.com/blog/new-research-20-of-americans-use-ai-tools-10x-month-but-growth-is-slowing-and-traditional-search-hasnt-dipped/The Danger of Bad Charts https://www.cpajournal.com/2025/10/10/the-danger-of-bad-charts-2/Cracker Barrel's logo controversy was driven by bots https://www.nrn.com/casual-dining/cracker-barrel-s-logo-controversy-was-driven-by-bots-what-operators-should-learn-from-thisOur commitment to audit quality — Ernst & Young LLP's 2025 report https://www.ey.com/en_us/assurance/audit-quality-reportEY drops clients to improve audits after leading Big Four in deficiencies https://www.cfobrew.com/stories/2024/08/27/ey-drops-clients-to-improve-audits-after-leading-big-four-in-deficienciesOpenAI Buys Personal Finance App Roi https://www.pymnts.com/acquisitions/2025/openai-buys-personal-finance-app-roi/With its latest acqui-hire, OpenAI is doubling down on personalized consumer AI https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/03/with-its-latest-acqui-hire-openai-is-doubling-down-on-personalized-consumer-ai/BDO USA Expands Professional Services Capabilities Through HORNE https://www.bdo.com/insights/press-releases/bdo-usa-expands-professional-services-capabilities-through-horneAuditor BDO Cuts Jobs With Focus on Managing Apollo Debt https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-11/auditor-bdo-cuts-jobs-with-focus-on-managing-apollo-debtNeed CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!

  • Entry Level Auditor Jobs Fall 43% & the AI Workslop Heading Downstream

    Entry Level Auditor Jobs Fall 43% & the AI Workslop Heading Downstream
    Oct 2 2025
    Blake and David examine the growing threat of AI-generated fake receipts, with 32% of accountants unable to recognize fraudulent documents and 30% reporting an increase in fraud since last year. They also discuss the concerning decline in entry-level auditor positions (down 43% since January) as firms adopt AI automation, while nearly half of accounts payable professionals now fear layoffs and also explore the concept of "work slop"—low-quality AI-generated work costing businesses nearly $200 per employee monthly—and debate whether firms should require clients to use standardized technology stacks, with only 37% currently doing so.
