Grant Thornton leads in Q2 new SEC audit clients

摘要

Top 6 Firm Grant Thornton topped the list of net new Securities and Exchange Commission audit clients in the second quarter of 2020. The Chicago-based firm brought on 11 new engagements, and netted eight. Big Four firm Ernst & Young actually added more new clients, with 12, but netted fewer, with four. (See "Client gains & losses," below) Lakewood, Colorado-based BF Borgers (which had brought on the most new SEC clients in the first quarter) came in second overall in Q2, netting six out of seven new engagements. (See "Net engagement leaders" on the opposite page) Not surprisingly, the three firms led the league tables for new clients by filing type, with EY bringing on the most large accelerated filers, Grant Thornton bringing on the most new accelerated filers, and BF Borgers bringing on the most smaller reporting companies.
