Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals: COM (2011) 778 and COM (2011) 779 (16 Oct 2012)

Anthony Lawlor: When one considers the banking reports in this country and across Europe one of the fascinating points is that we are stuck with four main audit companies. Less than ten years ago we had five but the situation with Enron reduced the number by one. Nothing in the proposals encourages more companies to come forward and take on the mantle.

Anthony Lawlor: The big four are so named because they gobbled up all of the smaller and medium entities over a number of years. That is why they became the big four or big five.
