It's been known for some time now that EY,
one of the ‘Big 4’ professional services firms, has been
considering splitting its auditing and consulting arms into
separate organisations.
Well, it was recently revealed that the
split has been approved by EY’s senior leadership, and will now be
subject to a partner vote. If approved, EY’s audit business would
remain in the existing partnership structure, whilst a new, larger
advisory business would spin out into a standalone company.
This episode, Source CEO Fiona Czerniawska
is joined by colleagues Paul English, Director of Marketing
Advisory, and Martin White, Principal Consultant. In this
roundtable discussion, they get to grips with what the EY split
might mean for the resultant audit and advisory firms, as well as
the wider professional services market.
