Greens call for accounting firms to be limited to 100 partners

The maximum size of accounting partnerships should be cut to 100 – down from 1000 – audit firms should be forced to separate from their consulting divisions, and a new regulator should be created to police the consulting sector, according to the Greens.

Greens senator Barbara Pocock, who was instrumental in establishing the Senate committee inquiring into the consulting industry, slammed the inquiry’s final report.
