4. giving to the banks for credit facilities

Are the public accountants so dumb to charge so low fees when the clients are making use of the audited financial statements to do so many things.

lol In Singapore, it’s a cost strategy. Clients will just choose the lowest fee. If a firm increases its fee, next year they may change auditors.

Audit firms will usually keep those low-margin clients. Staff on these kinds of engagements have to work overtime a lot because the bookings are usually shorter.
