The scandal section is not referenced at all the person pushing for the section has to provide references and proper citations. It looks like he/she just works for a competing firm and is trying to push for negative publicity.
Can someone check the new revenue figure? There is no source on that number. Is it true or false?
I've noticed that the other Big 4 firms have lists of some their major clients on their Wiki's, perhaps someone could add a list of Deloitte's major audit clients?

To the guardians of Wikipedia:
I just added a section about Deloitte illegal activity regarding the Adelphia scandal. This scandal was documented in the press in 2005. Please lock this secition; Deloitte has employees who regularly check this article and delete anything that doesn't show the company in a positive light.
Thank you in advance for making sure that truth can be guarded and not subverted.
Why is this article written in the first person? It's supposed to be written from a neutral point of view. Whenever I see the word "our", I don't bother to continue reading it. If someone could fix it up it'd be great. Downwards 05:49, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
The History section of the article seems to be a lightly edited copy-and-paste from the History section of the company's website. (The editing seems to consist of removing first-person pronouns with the company's full name.) I'm going to put a POV-Check on it. Exia 20:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Deloitte and Company was founded in London in 1849. Please update.
Deloitte started his business in 1845. The history section seems very US-centric - compare to the official website which has much about the activities of the UK firms in the 19th century.

- The history section of the article is a direct lift by the poster from the firm's US website, so naturally has the US history given. Appears to be both POV and copyright violation. THJames 21:39, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Propose merge - Deloitte Haskins & Sells
Article on DH&S is a stub. The history of DH&S, as one of the predecesors that merged into DTT, is already covered in the DTT article so a separate article on DH&S is not necessary.

No comments received so merged page. THJames 21:18, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] This is PR
We don't need PR on an encyclopedia.
- Then it can be edited. I dont think anyone can argue that an article on Deloitte, as one of the nations big four accounting firms, isn't warrented in the encyclopedia. Many articles begin with information taken directly from a Company's website or other biographical
nformaiton on an individual as posted by his or her employer. If you disagree with anything in the article, please edit and discuss any changes here.--Fresh 14:24, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
The significant clients are mentioned for Pricewaterhousecoopers, Ernst & Young and KPMG. Glad if someone can update the page for Deloitte and mention who their significant clients are. Thanks
[edit] Parmalat
I really think we need a section on the Parmalat scandal.
[edit] UK Acquisition of Andersen business
There is a paragraph explaining that original UK business of Deloitte passed to Coopers & Lybrand. Is it worth adding at the end a comment along the lines that "Following the demise of Arthur Andersen in 2002, the UK business of Arthur Andersen was absorbed by Deloitte. This was the optimal result in the UK from a competition perspective, redressing the loss of the original Deloitte business to Coopers & Lybrand."
I would argue that Deloitte were the weakest player in the market prior to the Andersen absorption and in many areas ex-Andersen staff have taken over the business. Thats probably to UK-Centric and opinionated though. Crantock 23:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clientele
Is the Clientele section in this article really encyclopedic? First of all what constitutes as a "major" client? Second, Deloitte's clients are so numerous that this list could go on seemingly forever and this section is quickly turning into a "data dump". My suggestion would be to simply state the different sectors that Deloitte clients fall into such as telecomm, commerce, etc. Any thoughts? Suvablee0506 01:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
