Morrison & Foerster senior counsel Howard Morris discusses Britain’s plan to transform its audit regime, which has set the stage for a radical shakeup of the accounting sector by a new regulator empowered to crack down on the industry in the wake of a series of scandals and corporate collapses in the Law360 article entitled, “<a target="_blank" href="http:https://media2.mofo.com/v3/assets/blt5775cc69c999c255/blt804a173bbbd03a22/627320a9220ab5285f5193b9/190315-embattled-audit-sector.pdf">New UK Watchdog Poised To Take On Embattled Audit Sector</a>.” The government confirmed that the Financial Reporting Council will be abolished and replaced with an enhanced regulator called the Audit, Reporting and Governance Authority. The move comes after a damning review into the audit watchdog, prompted by the high-profile collapses of companies.Morris said, “It has been a steady drumbeat of criticism of auditors and the FRC, but it may be the government will reform its regulation of the audit sector without breaking up the Big Four.”
