「四大」中國分部 在美業務被禁
美國證監會行政法官1月22號裁決，暫停「四大」會計師事務所的中國分部，為美國上市公司提供審計服務。
受到禁令的四家會計師事務所是：德勤華永、安永華明、畢馬威和普華永道。
美國法官指出，這四大會計師事務所的中國分部「蓄意違反」美國法律。
這四家公司在一份聯合聲明中表示，他們將會提出上訴。
據報導，這次爭議起因是，美國證監會懷疑9家在美國上市的中國企業涉嫌欺詐，要求「四大」會計師事務所提供審計資料，但「四大」以違反中國法律為由予以拒絕。
如果這個裁定最終生效，數十家中國企業可能面臨無法提供審計報告，從而無法繼續在美國證券市場融資交易的困境。

“Big Four" Chinese Audit Branches Banned From Auditing
Chinese Companies in The US
On January 22 the US Security and Exchange Commission
(SEC) judge decided to suspend auditing services for U.S.
listed companies with headquarters in China who are audited
by the Chinese units of the “Big Four" accounting firms.
The four accounting firms are Deloitte & Touche, Ernst
and Young, KPMG, and PricewaterhouseCoopers
The U.S. judge pointed out together they
had “willfully violated" US laws.
The four companies said in a joint statement
that they will appeal the decision.
According to the report, the reason for the controversy is

had committed fraud and required the “big four" accounting
firms to provide audit information.
But the “big four" rejected in violation of Chinese law.
If the final ruling takes effect, dozens of Chinese companies
may have problems providing audit reports and continuing
to get finance on the U.S. stock market.
