5th Largest accountancy firm

Both BDO and Grant Thornton articles state they are the 5th largest accounting firm worldwide. Clearly there is something not quite right. Is there an up-to-date list from a reputable 3rd party to establish the correct position. If not then the claim on both sites should be removed.--GazMan7 (talk) 17:15, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It largely depends on how you determine rankings - everyone knows the big 4.... but the gap between big 4 and the next firm is fairly vast. I believe BDO claims to be 5th largest based on the number of offices since it includes a number of boutique tax / consultancy firms in its network. Since each country has different rankings for public accounting firms, I would suggest that revenues should be used as a parameter to determine the rankings. DallasJockey

Based on Revenue,McGladrey is the fifth largest firm in the US — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.208.134.75 (talk) 18:27, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Illinois-based Corporations

Why does GTI have a template for "Illinois-based Corporations" when GTI is based in London? I'll remove this if agreement. Darkieboy236 (talk) 12:30, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Written like Advertisement?

The last sentence in the introduction (second paragraph) sounds like advertising to me - at least it does not comply with my sense of style for encyclopedic writing:

These firms help dynamic organisations unlock their potential for growth by providing meaningful, actionable advice through a broad range of services.

These are quite a few buzz words loved by marketing agencies. And they are not really falsificable or provable: dynamic, unlock their potential, meaningful and actionable advice... This could be the self-description of any consulting firm in the world.

My suggestion: remove the sentence or shorten it to something like "These firms help organisations by providing advice through a broad range of services." --Alpenfreund (talk) 16:39, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pyramid-ponzi scheme.

The form that Grant Thornton accountants resolve bankruptcies is by and through also a pyramid-ponzi scheme, where the accountants attempt to resolve the bankruptcy by robbing the clients/victims even further, to pay of debt, including that debt owned to Grant thornton.

To accomplish this, they start charging the clients, account holders with unnecessary, unwanted, and/or none closed, none received services, including credit scamming and promoting legalities from a ' friendly ' / ' bribed ' local court to inhibit payouts to clients.

The stanford international bank fraud is one of those fraud cases where Thornton itself uses ponzi/pyramid schemes to pay off debt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.91.89.206 (talk) 18:14, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
