Jey Purushotham, Compliance Practice Group Leader at Intapp, contributed to an article on what’s behind the combinations happening among accounting firms for Middle Market Growth’s special edition Outlook Report. His commentary focuses on the importance, and complexities, of maintaining independence when accounting firms take on private equity investment. In the article, he says:

The private equity firm that owns part of the business already has its own other portfolio companies. The accounting firm now must be independent not only of its own clients but also of the private equity firm and quite possibly all of the portfolio companies of the private equity partner. The private equity partner needs to share in this responsibility as well.
