John Griffith-Jones, the chairman of KPMG Europe, has denied that there exists a cosy relationship between the Big Four, adding that he would welcome the entrance of a fifth or sixth major player.

In an interview with The Scotsman, he said he was a great believer in competition.

‘I'm surprised at the accusations of a cosy relationship. As a group of professionals there is some pretty earnest competition going on,’ Griffiths-Jones said.

The FRC is currently looking at ways to open up the audit market, in an attempt to broaden choice.
