Or, has bona fide consulting gone the way of the horse and buggy?

Frank,

Bona fide consulting is an oxymoron.

Consulting is nothing more than customized sales. All of the major accounting firms are systems integrators having partnerships with major enterprise software companies. In the case of some such as Andersen, they have investments in those software companies and protect their investments with representatives on the software company's board.

This move tends to disqualify KPMG as a future source of objective consultation, wouldn't you say?

Not nearly as much as their plan to take their new business unit public. The phrase, independent audit, is also close to becoming an oxymoron.
