<h4>KPMG In Trouble Over Rolls-Royce Auditing</h4>
<p>Information available to<strong><a href="https://openlife.ng/"> OpenLife Nigeria</a></strong> indicates that Britain&#8217;s accounting watchdog has fined KPMG 3.3 million pounds ($4.16 million) over the company&#8217;s audit of aero engine maker Rolls-Royce (RR.L) more than a decade ago.<br />
This wa made known on Tuesday.<br />
According to the information, the fine relates to payments made by Rolls-Royce to agents in India and is the latest in a string of penalties imposed on KPMG, one of the world&#8217;s &#8220;Big Four&#8221; accountants, over its audit of the aero engine group.<br />
The Financial Reporting Council (FRC) said it had initially imposed a fine of 4.5 million pounds on KPMG over the payments to agents in India but reduced that to 3.3 million pounds after admission of failures by KPMG.<br />
Rolls-Royce was fined almost 500 million pounds by Britain&#8217;s Serious <a href="https://punchng.com/">Fraud Office</a> in 2017 over the payments to agents in India, under a Deferred Prosecution Agreement.<br />
The FRC said it fined Anthony Sykes, KPMG&#8217;s audit partner in the Rolls-Royce audit, 150,000 pounds, reduced to 112,500 pounds for his admissions of failures.<br />
&#8220;Allegations of bribery and malpractice through the use of intermediaries and ‘advisers’ in the defence field were prominent at the time of the audit,&#8221; the FRC said.<br />
KPMG will also have to pay for an external review of its policies on how it audits a company&#8217;s compliance with laws and regulations.<br />
Jon Holt, KPMG&#8217;s UK chief executive, said he was pleased to have concluded this &#8220;historic matter&#8221; and was sorry that parts of the audit did not meet the professional standards required.<br />
&#8220;In addition to resolving legacy cases, we are also investing significantly in training, controls and technology to improve quality and resilience in our audit practice,&#8221; Holt said.<br />
The FRC last week asked an independent tribunal to endorse a 14.4 million pound fine for KPMG after the auditor admitted it misled the watchdog during spot checks on audits of construction group Carillion and software firm Regenersis. read more<br />
Over the past year KPMG has also received fines for its work with bed maker Silentnight, and audits of convenience store chain Conviviality and Revolution Bars read more<br />
The FRC is separately investigating KPMG&#8217;s audit of Carillion.<br />
