Money match

Article Abstract:

The Big Four firms of the Top Sixty auditing firms in UK have managed to get the auditorship for the England's top clubs in Premiership football league, with Deloitte grabbing six clubs, KPMG three audits, and PricewaterhouseCoopers and PKF each managing two audits. There are also a number of smaller audit firms in the Premiership, which suggests that the dominance of the Big Four over the FTSE 100 companies does not extend to the sporting world and that the Premiership League is interested in smaller firms too.
