Great idea, this is how we follow the money. In accounting firms that work with companies whose stock is traded on SEC-regulated markets, all close family members of the employees of the accounting firm are subject to SEC regulatory oversight.
In other words, if you do accounting or other advisory work for a publicly traded company, and your spouse, child, or sibling owns any interest the same company, you are held accountable for anything fishy.
It should be the same for elected representatives. In fact, they should be held to a higher standard than the rest of us.
