My job is literally to regulate this. We slap the shit out of them if they break something as simple as this.

Yeah, because the big four don’t help governments set policies which disadvantage the small and solo consultancies. In the UK they’ve heavily influenced the tax treatment of small companies, leaving the market open only to the very biggest. So maybe they’re not directly breaching SOx and it’s European equivalents, but they are certainly profiting from an ability to shape the market for each other.
