April 2020 - A number of notable risk trends continue to cause concern in 2020. High-profile scandals receive
widespread media attention and focus attention on reputation. Regulators remain active and are increasingly
enforcing sanctions in addition to fines.
March 2020 - Accounting firms continued to grow and diversify their practices throughout 2019, with many transforming into
multi-disciplinary professional services and product firms. At the same time, risks associated with conduct
and compliance were put under the spotlight.
