The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) eventually learned that Goodbread had held an ownership interest in Koger Properties while he supervisen the company's 1990 audit. The SEC charged that Goodbread's ownership interest in Koger violated its in dependence rules, the Code of Professional Conduct of the American Instituet of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), and generally accepted auditing standards. Most important, the SEC charged that Goodbread caused Diloitte & Touche to issue an improper opinion on Koger's 1990 financial statements. Instead of the unqualified opinion Deloitte & Touche issued on those financial statements, the SEC maintained that a disclaimer of opinion had been required given the circumstances. Following its investigation of the matter, the SEC publicly censured Goodbread.
