The Big Four

Nope, not talking about the game. Come on, good guys like me don't gamble. :) And I couldn't be linking the four singers in the Canto-pop group right?? Well, there are many 'big fours' so to speak, but since we're talking about companies, the most famous Big Four, in the context of huge corporations, are none other than that of the ones in the auditing industry. Although not more than a tenth in size of their oil and gas counterparts, they are as big as they can get and they deserve these spots. Accountants and auditors alike would wish to get in but when they are in the Big Four, they would wish to get out (well, at least that was what I witness from some of my friends), due to overly competitive environment I suppose. Anyway, the Big Four audit firms are:

1. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC)
2. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (DTT)
3. Ernst & Young (EY)
4. KPMG (Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler)

So, do help yourself with the links if you want to check them out! Have fun... :)
