"Wall Street Journal" quotes Rock Center for Corporate Governance Co-Director and professor Joesph Grundfest

"The audit firms have already incorporated a lot of the inefficient 404 process into their integrated audits, and once audit firms have processes in place, it's very hard to persuade them to back off and ease up on those processes."
