Audit firms in for a Medical check up

I came across this article in Industrial Economist March 2020

“A couple of the audit Big-4, DHS PwC and GT, have done the right thing: they have chosen not to take up non-audit work in companies where they are the statutory auditors. But my sense is that it should be a blanket ban of ‘any other work’ since there can be interpretational issues on what is audit work and what is non-audit work.”

This is an extract from the column, Audit firms in for a medical check-up, by  a columnist, CA V Pattabiram, from Industrial economist March 2020 issue.
