The Financial Reporting Council has today published its annual inspection and supervision results for the seven largest audit firms (BDO, Deloitte, EY, Grant Thornton, KPMG, Mazars and PwC): see here. Three quarters of audits have been rated good or requiring limited improvement; however, at two audit firms – Mazars and BDO – the results are described as unacceptable (half of the audits reviewed at Mazars, and five of the twelve reviewed at BDO, requiring more than limited improvement).
