Red Flags
& Footnotes

What this is

Most weeks, a regulator somewhere charges a company with accounting fraud — and the coverage stops at "the SEC charged X." The interesting part rarely gets told: how the number moved, and why it was tempting.

That's the gap Red Flags & Footnotes is built for. One reported case per edition, read the way a chartered accountant reads it — mechanism and incentive, not headline.

Who it's for

If you work with financial statements — as an investor, founder, CFO, finance team member, or fellow professional — this is written for you. No motivational content. No jargon for jargon's sake.
