    According to the article "Auditors", 2017, it is said about the leakage of information about the results of the audit by the company's regulator.

    The author of the article notes that doubts about KPMG are exacerbated by the latest violation in the reporting of public companies. As a result, partners and a KPMG employee were fired. KPMG also acknowledged that the leak "potentially" undermined the integrity of the regulatory process.
    The regulator now has no choice but to give the public a full picture of what happened, why and when, and what checks might be affected.

    "Quality auditing is the backbone of fair and transparent financial markets. They have proven elusive - KPMG is at the bottom of the Big Four, but other firms also have alarmingly high deficit rates. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board should have helped fix this, and now it must also take steps to ensure its own integrity and thus the integrity of the markets." - notes the author.
