Reply to comment by lgt_celticwolf in [OC] 'Big 4' accounting firms are PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, and EY - breaking down how they make money by giteam

Your first point is true, but your second point is pure conspiracy. These firms work on the largest companies due to a multitude of reasons, but not the one you listed. Primarily due to: staffing, geographical presence, reputation, etc.

I’ve worked on audits where a competitor (big 4) was doing advisory work and constantly trying to get management to switch to them for audit work. There is very much no back scratching.
