Ernst and Young
Ernst & Young is one of the largest professional services firms in the world and one of the Big Four accountancy firms.
Just four accounting firms – PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, Deloitte & Touche and Ernst & Young – audit 97% of FTSE 350 companies.[1] Although their might is being challenged by mid-tier firms such as Grant Thornton.[2]
Tax avoidance
The Big Four accountancy firms were behind almost half of all known [tax] avoidance schemes, the Revenue (HMRC) said in 2006.[3]
