從約一年前就注意到KPMG在New Century案中傳出不太好的消息
最近又收到Google Alert傳來的新聞
好像不太妙耶~~
New Century的清算管理人（trustee）提告KPMG US和KPMG international，求償$ 1 billion
剛剛去Wiki一下，當初Enron案會導致AA關門，主要是因為為法院判決有罪就不能再執業了，
那New Century這個案子不知道會發展成怎樣呢？？
CPA firm會從big 4再簡化成big 3嗎？
拭目以待吧！
摘錄部份新聞消息如下：
A trustee for bankrupt New Century Financial Corp. is suing KPMG for more than $1 billion, alleging the former auditor of the defunct Irvine-based subprime lending company was grossly negligent in its fiduciary duties.
Two lawsuits, filed today in Los Angeles County Superior Court and U.S. District Court in New York, say the KPMG auditors lacked independence and failed to exercise control, bowing to maintain good relations with a paying client.
“KPMG did not act like a watchdog. Instead, KPMG assisted in the misstatements and certified materially misstated financial statements,” the complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court says. “KPMG acted as a cheerleader for management, not the public interest.”
