    Here is a link to the article that was in the Washington Post:

    Washington Post article

    If you don't want to read the entire article, here is the key section:

    "Household International Inc., an Illinois-based consumer finance company, for example, said a recent review by its new auditor revealed problems with how it accounted for its third-party credit card marketing relationships. The result: It had overstated its profits by a total of $386â??million over nine years.

    Household noted the changes it made were the result of a review by auditor KPMG, which it hired in March after firing Arthur Andersen."

    Just thought I would pass it on.
