United Kingdom Accountancy Market 2015: PwC, Deloitte, KPMG and EY Dominates the Market

DUBLIN, June 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/c25q8p/accountancy) has announced the addition of the "Accountancy Market 2015" report to their offering.

In this report, the market for the accountancy profession in the UK is examined. This is achieved partly through a review of the UK's main accountancy firms, as well as the wider economy that the sector serves as a whole.

However, the two key areas accountancy firms really tend to focus on are audit and accounting, and tax services, and this is where many firms draw the majority of their income from, in addition to the provision of legal services to a lesser extent.

Auditing is usually carried out by the medium to large accountancy firms because the process requires several specially trained, skilled staff; these are known as auditors. Auditing is not provided by many smaller accountancy firms because of the costs involved. All auditors are accountants, although not all accountants are auditors as not all accountants have the necessary skills and qualifications required to be an auditor.

Some of the largest firms in the industry also offer management consultancy services, which have become increasingly common and lucrative in the current market and, as such, are earmarked as a key growth area by many firms.

The largest four accountancy firms in the UK - PwC, Deloitte, KPMG and EY - are collectively known as the Big Four'. This is terminology that will appear throughout this report. They dominate the accountancy market, particularly in the area of auditing - they are the auditors for more than 90% of all firms in the FTSE 100.
