KPMG has been fined for scrutiny scrutinants

The Auditing giant KPMG was punished 1.25 million pounds ($ 1.69 million) by the FRC due to major violations of the scrutiny independence rules.

This fine is related to the 2021 KPMG audit of the Carr’s Group, a supplier of farm and machine products.

FRC issued a notice of the final settlement decision against KPMG and its partner in participating in the scrutiny, Nick Plum.

This notice indicated a breach of compliance with the financial statements associated with the Car Group during the audit process.

The organizer found that KPMG and Plumb opposed the moral standard by relying on the work of another company, which was determined as “X.”

This company was responsible for checking for more than five years, exceeding the permissible period and increasing significant concerns about objectivity.

Moreover, X has also provided specific tax and accounting services to an entity linked to the Carr Group.

The prolonged period of the main audit partner in issues related to compliance and independence increased in scrutiny.

“The primary goal of any participation in scrutiny is that intended users trust and trust that the view of the audit is sound and objective,” said Jimmy Simington, Deputy Executive Adviser, Jimmy Simington.

“It is very important that when seeking to rely on the work of an component interest, the group audit company can be convinced that its independence is not at risk as a result of circumstances that threaten the independence of another company from its work.”

In this case, while the quality of the audit performed by the two companies does not appear, the violations were dangerous.

The Censorship Authority said that KPMG and Plumb were absent from a number of opportunities in FY21 to create the facts on which violations are based.

“Violations in the current case include failure to determine the prohibition of the bright line designed to secure the independence of the legal auditor. The failure of the respondents in this regard was an essential and essential nature,” Simington added.
