This is the sixth annual report of Monadnock Research's analysis of the Big Four's consulting practices, as they continue to seek organic growth and strategic M&A with a special focus on non-audit services. Fiscal 2015 global non-audit advisory services of the Big Four, including tax services, increased to $77.4 billion (in USD here and throughout), a 5.49% increase over 2014 levels. Total non-tax consulting and advisory services of Deloitte, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young were $48.96 billion, an increase of 7.45% over fiscal 2014. Overall, Big Four fiscal 2015 revenues were $123.75 billion, up 2.83%. Growth in advisory, however, contrasts sharply with an overall decrease of 1.32% in audit revenues to $46.36 billion, down from growth of 2.32% last year. This Research Note offers an in-depth analysis of the growing conflict risk posed by a rapidly increasing proportion of consulting to audit services at Big Four firms, and the paradox facing Big Four leaders as they ...

This is the fifth edition of Monadnock Research's published analysis of the Big Four's consulting practices, as they continue to seek organic growth and strategic M&A with a special focus on non-audit services. Fiscal 2014 global non-audit advisory services of the Big Four, including tax services, increased to $70.17 billion (in USD here and throughout), an 8.4% increase over 2013 levels. Total non-tax consulting and advisory services of Deloitte, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young were $42.36 billion, an increase of 9.9% over fiscal 2013. Overall, Big Four fiscal 2014 revenues were $120.34 billion, up 5.81%. Growth in advisory, however, contrasts sharply with an overall increase of 2.38% growth in audit services, up from 0.25% last year, to $50.17 billion. This Note highlights the growing risks of the ever-increasing proportion of advisory relative to audit services at Big Four firms. It also explores the paradox faced by Big Four leaders that have made strategic decis...
