The fact that EY didn't fire all people on the spot who couldn't pass the ethics portion of the CPA exam without cheating says a lot about the kind of people EY employs.

> Many EY employees knew that their behavior violated the company’s code of conduct, but some still did it because they couldn’t pass on their own, according to the SEC. The firm ultimately disciplined and, in some cases, fired individuals for their actions, according to the SEC, which said it’s investigation is ongoing.
