Grant Thornton posted a marked improvement in audit regulatory inspection results with its most recently published report, dating to 2016.

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Boardโ€™s latest report on a major firm shows inspectors studied 34 audit files and found problems in eight of them, or 24 percent. Thatโ€™s an improvement over the same firmโ€™s 2015 findings, where 41 percent of inspected audits contained problems.
