China audits Big 4 auditing giants
The Chinese government is intensifying audits on major auditing firms like Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG due to concerns about their quality of work. There is skepticism regarding the firms' dedication to uncovering potential financial inaccuracies in audited companies, prompting rigorous questioning and document requests. This scrutiny aims to prevent crises like the Evergrande collapse, where unsustainable debt accumulation and accounting malpractices led to Evergrande defaulting on a $300 billion debt in 2021.
