| Tiivistelmä: | With the downsizing of the Big Five into a Big Four, mid-tier firms have suddenly been presented with an historic moment of opportunity. Many large organisations are already showing a much greater willingness to consider firms outside the Big Four for various work - though not necessarily for audit - and the mid-tier are in a good position to reap the benefits.
