 From an individual investor:
     
Auditing should be separated from consulting.
     
I would go so far as to say auditing cannot be undertaken by any  firm that 
even offers "consulting."
     
Please keep America green.
     
Accounting fiascos were the actual cause of the great depression. Think 
about that!
     
Auditing is separate from consulting, just as church from state.
     
THANKS!
