The UK’s accounting watchdog has confirmed that it is scrutinising audits that fell outside the scope of the public inquiry into the Post Office Horizon scandal, according to Bloomberg.
The Financial Reporting Council said in an emailed statement it was looking at the work of EY, who audited The Post Office from 1986 to 2018. Bloomberg said the FRC did not say if it was looking at PwC as well.
Although at the time EY said it was cooperating with the public inquiry, in the end the audits related to the scandal were not looked at. It has been suggested that scrutiny of the audits was dropped because it would take too long!
