What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Auditor-General of South Africa, led by Tsakani Maluleke, ended its contract with Crowe. This decision followed the firm's silence regarding a sanction imposed by the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors on Crowe’s lead partner, Gary Kartsounis. The fine was issued because the partner failed to obtain sufficient audit evidence on derivative financial instruments.
