Ernst & Young LLP
By: David F. Hawkins and Jacob Cohen
Abstract
The history of Ernst & Young provides a platform to discuss the issues related to the sale of the consulting business as well as the founding of the legal unit. It dovetails with the issues raised at Arthur Andersen regarding the role of the Big Four accounting firms and how they deal with issues of conflict of interest and internal controls to ensure independence.
