De Nederlandse accountantskantoren:

24. PwC

27. KPMG

29. Deloitte

31. Ernst & Young

82. BDO

Wat opvalt is dat alle Nederlandse Big Four kantoren vorig jaar met dalende omzetcijfers te maken hadden, uiteenlopend van -6% (KPMG) tot -11% (Deloitte).

International Accounting Bulletin constateert dat er wereldwijd behoorlijk wat verschuivingen plaatsvinden. ‘Global Top 100: A new world order’, zo luidt de kop boven het artikel. In een commentaar wordt geschreven: ‘There is a new world order slowly but surely emerging in the accounting profession. As firms in Europe and the US struggle, those in Asia-Pacific and Latin America are growing in size, stature and strategic importance. In this year’s Top 100, firms in traditional accounting markets are sliding down the list and being replaced by those in emerging economies. Worryingly, 60% of firms reported revenue contractions but these results reflect a period when most countries were suffering the worst effects of recession.’
