Fine. Then Walmarts “consultant fees” for a one person company that happens to share an office space with 5000 other companies in a tax sheltering country most likely grew substantially.

All that really matters here is that we stop pretending that Walmart doesn’t have an army of lawyers and accountants making the public books appear however they want us to see them.

All the incentives are to goose profits, not hide them. Higher profits mean a higher stock price, which is how executives make the bulk of their pay.
