Wow, sheâs not the chair anymore, but Iâm sure the board members read what she says. Slowing global growth is a worry, because it would eventually impact the US.
Cut it! Cut it!!!

I didnât even know this was possible. Most companies announce earnings and file the audited 10-Q or 10-K later. You donât see much if any media coverage if the audited results donât match what was previously reported. Thatâs insane. It shouldnât be legal to announce earnings without audited results.

@marcus335 - thanks for posting this. Sounds like the lessons of Enron, Arthur Andersen, and Sarbanes-Oxley have faded 2 decades on. How easily we forgetâŚ

Auditors can only audit once a year. Auditing 4 times a year is overkill.
They audit every quarter.
No they donât. If you read the 10-Q they specifically state that the report is âunaudited.â They only review the numbers every quarter and audit once a year.

Big companies always go through many audits, internal, third party and even various state governments, federal government.
For example: FAANG companies, each one will have 10+ different audits will be going on at any time.
See my next reply why they have challenges
Every audit may take 6 weeks (very rare) to 18 months (or even more) depending on the party involved. Government audit is really hard to face as they demand money.
Quarterly results are published within 15 to 30 days of closing closing the books. They many not have sufficient time to audit, but will eventually go through audits.
The difference must be very minimum. Even auditors can spot check, trace some transactions, but can not entirely make it correct.
Same documents, if ten different auditor groups analyze, each will come up with different answers and will never tally.
The only issue is, if there is major difference found and they did not declare to SEC/Public, the CEO+CFO are held accountable. If they are found guilty , they (CFO and/or CEO) are put in to jail.
Year 2000, Enron issue created SOX and CEO+CFO are accountable for the financial results/declaration.

It may not have so much volatility now as market is testing its strength around SMA200 level. IMO, Market (S&P) is still below its current run peak.
Rough idea is that market is safe in green state until 2800 (S&P) and enter into red zone, i.e., it can fall any time after reaching 2800 as Cyclic turn happens around that level.
It can stop at 5000.
