Audit regulators remain mum on when, if ever, they will publish a report on their 2016 inspection of Big 4 audit firm KPMG.
The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board published its 2016 inspection results for Deloitte in December 2017 followed by reports for EY and PwC in January 2018, but it has yet to publish a final 2016 report for KPMG. Soon after the three Big 4 reports were published, the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission revealed charges of fraud and conspiracy against ousted audit leaders at KPMG and a dismissed inspection staffer at the PCAOB over allegations of cheating at KPMG on the inspection process.
