Deloitte UK partners will have to hit 17 per cent for their salaries despite raising decimal decimals, as accounting and advisory groups have not been able to cut spending quickly in response to the coronavirus disruption.

In the first set of results published by one of the Big Four professional services companies, Deloitte reported strong growth in all of its business segments in the 10 months to the end of March, before the epidemic dramatically slowed down.

It said revenue in April and May was “significantly affected by Covid-19”, with growth slowing to about 2 per cent, up from about 11 per cent in the year-ago period.

As a result, total revenues reached ১ 311.11 billion, up from £ 3.99 billion reported in 2011, an increase of 3.1 percent in May 2011.

However, the distributable profit for the period was only 18 518 million, down 16 percent from Deloitte’s 17,617m a year ago, as the level of investment picked up the business’s steady growth.

As a result of the epidemic, the farm’s growth has been less than planned

Average profits as an equity partner have fallen slightly, from a 10-year high of 88 882,000 announced last year to £ 731,000 – due to a slight increase in the number of eligible partners this year.

Donna Ward, chief financial officer of Deloitte UK, said: “As a result of the epidemic, the firm’s growth has fallen short of the plan.

A person familiar with the numbers said profits have fallen sharply because revenues have fallen sharply since March, but spending cuts “take time to think and develop and implement”.

The consultation has performed a strong departmental task, with Deloitte winning the new job by advising on the epidemic and raising revenue by 12 percent. The firm was hired by the UK government to help redesign corporate clients’ work practices and strengthen their supply chains, as well as to coordinate this emergency response system.

Of the £ 109 million contract awarded to consultants by Whitehall departments in the first weeks of the crisis, Deloitte included collecting personal protective equipment for the hospital and supporting testing sites – although the agency was criticized for a series of administrative errors and delays in delivering kits.

Despite the Big Four companies’ uninterrupted censorship for the quality of their corporate investigations, monitoring work has also increased by about 9 percent. In September, Deloitte was ordered to pay a record 21 21 million in fines and expenses for serious misconduct in monitoring the former FTSE 100 technology group’s autonomy at the center of one of the UK’s largest accounting scandals.

In addition to its results, the firm further elaborated on the new audit administration board appointed after it in an effort to “rebuild business confidence”. Under an independent chair, the Board will aim to oversee the UK audit practice more closely, and ensure the separation of audit regulators from other departments as required by the Financial Reporting Council.
