因为意大利竞争委员会经过调查认为，“四大”会计公司在意大利财政部所合资公司的6600万欧元服务合同投标过程中，“四大”会计公司共同合作以降低公共投标价格。

意大利竞争委员会（AGCM)称这种情况是对“竞争法的最严重的破坏行为之一”。

德勤对此罚款表示不服，德勤在一份声明中表示:“尽管我们认识到AGCM在执行竞争规则方面的重要作用，但我们尊重但反对其调查结果，并保留在其仔细审查后，为撤销该决定采取行动的权利。”

普华永道表示，针对该公司的处罚是“不合理的”，安永表示，该公司正在考虑下一步的决定。

普华永道一位发言人表示:“我们对此结果感到失望，认为针对普华永道的法律诉讼是不充分的。”正如我们在我们的报告中明确指出的那样，普华永道没有从被授予合同的任何方式中受益，这些合同都没有授予普华永道。

“我们继续致力于最高标准的道德行为。”每年，我们所有的人都必须接受我们所做的每一件事，都要接受诚信和职业道德的重要性的培训。

安永的一名发言人表示:“安永的金融业务顾问们正在仔细审查意大利竞争委员会在2017年11月7日发布的决定，并将考虑下一步的建议。”

“我们继续全力配合当局。安永将致力于在我们的行为和市场上进行充分和公平的竞争，这是我们的全球政策和合规计划所强化的。

毕马威意大利发言人拒绝置评。

Deloitte challenges €23m Italy fine

Deloitte could take action against the Italian tax authorities following a €23m anti-trust fine handed to all the Big Four firms

According to the Italian tax agency,the four firms worked together to lower the public tender’s pricing in order to win the €66m contract with COONSIP,a joint-stock company held by the Italian ministry of economy and finance,neutralising the competition “outside the cartel”.

Deloitte,however,said in a statement,“Although we recognise the important role of the AGCM in the enforcement of competition rules,we respectfully disagree with its findings and reserve the right to bring an action for annulment of the decision,after its careful review.”

A PwC spokesperson said,“We are disappointed with the outcome of the competition enquiry and believe the legal case against PwC is insufficient.As we made clear in our submission,PwC did not benefit in any way from the awarding of the contracts in question,none of which were awarded to PwC.

“We continue to be committed to the highest standards of ethical behaviour.Each year all of our people are required to undergo training on the importance of integrity and professional ethics in everything we do”.

An EY spokesperson said “Reconta Ernst &Young and Ernst &Young Financial-Business Advisors are carefully reviewing the decision of the Italian competition authority released on 7November 2017and will consider next steps with counsel.

“We continue to cooperate fully with the authority.EY is committed to full and fair competition in our conduct and the markets in which we do business,as reinforced by our global policies and compliance program.”

A KPMG Italy spokesperson declined to comment.
