The U.K. Financial Reporting Council (FRC) disclosed an investigation into KPMG’s audit of international sports betting and gambling company Entain Group.
In a press release Monday, the FRC said it launched a probe in relation to the audit conducted by KPMG of the consolidated financial statements of Entain for the year ended Dec. 31, 2022.
The agency noted that the investigation relates only to KPMG’s work “and it would not be fair to treat any part of this announcement as constituting or evidencing an investigation into any other persons or entities.”
