that prevent professional services firms providing lucrative non-audit services to audit clients, as high-profile company collapses and government inquiries cast doubt on how the big four manage conflicts of interest.“If EY has proved it can be done, and in doing so removed any conflicts of interest and improved audit quality ... there may be pressure from regulators to split the rest of the big four,” he added.
