Well, well, well... Deloitte seem to have been caught out aiding & abetting tax evasion.
Of course, the big audit/accounting firms have been in the spotlight for some time for a range of illegal actions, suggesting that there is something rotten at the heart of the 'Big Four'.
The Q. is how can we dismantle this dysfunctional global oligopoly? So, far they've managed to dodge the bullet(s) but for how much longer?
🇧🇪 AI reshapes Big Four hiring as Belgian consultants recruit fewer graduates

📰 Sebastián Vallebona: el abogado que trabajó en una "Big Four" y llega a la Subsecretaría de Hacienda

The quantum industry has a credibility problem, and announcements like this one from EY make it worse. EY says it installed a quantum computer in Toronto for "optimization, fraud detection, data protection and large-scale risk management." No vendor named. No qubit count. No specifications. I reached out to EY's media contact and CTO - no response.
One journalist got them to confirm it's photonic.
Here's the problem: no photonic quantum computer on Earth can do optimization, fraud detection, or risk management. Not Xanadu's. Not ORCA's. Not anyone's. The photonic modality has the largest gap to useful computation of any quantum platform I track in my CRQC Scorecard.
Buying a quantum computer before they're useful? Actually smart. I wrote many posts defending exactly that logic. Procurement cycles are long. Talent is scarce. Institutional learning takes time.
But describing a research-grade photonic prototype as a machine for "processing highly sensitive workloads" in fraud detection and risk management? That's the kind of claim that makes tech execs roll their eyes at the entire quantum industry.
Joe Depa told Accounting Today the real focus is readiness and PQC. That's honest and a praiseworthy initiative. If that's what EY said, I'd congratulate them. The press release says something else. The gap between the two is the problem.
My full analysis, including two plausible vendors, what they can actually build, and what to watch for on August 5: https://postquantum.com/industry-news/ey-quantum-computer-toronto/

I hope that they have an idea of how much this hurts their reputation, the trust that the public has in their reports and the fees that they can charge customers for their AI-generated reports.
I can understand that people use AI, but how reputable companies publish these reports without rigorous fact-checking is beyond me.

So let's get this straight: KPMG — right in the middle of a scandal for stealing confidential client info to rig audit bids — was put in charge of the RBA's whistleblower hotline. Yes, really. Let that land. Now, predictably, the RBA is finally ditching them and retendering the contract. But this isn't just one firm getting caught — it's the whole Big Four grift, baked into the system. As long as corporate power polices itself, nothing changes.
And I'm old enough to remember when the media worked itself into a frenzy over council workers standing around with their hands in their pockets. "Grifters!" they cried. "Waste!" "We need to privatise!" — that was the war cry. Meanwhile, the real grift just puts on a consultant's suit, bills by the hour, and never has to stand in front of a camera and answer for it.
