The days of audits being divvied out between the big accountancy firms are well and truly numbered. A few weeks ago, we reported how Ernst & Young had lost out to KPMG for the Irish Life & Permanent audit. Now, Ernst has turned the tables and has taken over as sole auditor to Dairygold, having shared the audit with KPMG ever since the Mitchelstown-Ballyclough merger that created Dairygold. It mightn't quite make up for the fee income lost with the Irish Life & Permanent audit, but no doubt Ernst is pleased that it was KPMG it displaced from the Dairygold job.
