FRC raps KPMG over fund manager’s audit

The auditor failed to provide evidence that it tested whether the reserves noted in the 2015 financial statements were correct

The Financial Reporting Council has censured Big Four accounting firm KPMG with a non-financial sanction for its poor audit of fund manager Foresight 4 VCT.

The regulator has handed out a reprimand, ordered the auditor to monitor compliance with revised audit procedures on company capital and distributions and report back to the FRC’s Executive Counsel.
