    “The well-educated, skilled, and experienced accountant is the first line of defense for the capitalist system.”

    This quote says it all. Unfortunately, many CPAs are just as crooked as the crooks they audit and prepare taxes for. It takes a tremendous level of effort to resist the temptation of wealth and stature that comes with crookedness, and the accountant who can overcome will be a shining star.
