Accounting giant EY has come under pressure in the wake of the Wirecard scandal and insolvency filing, as a growing number of lawsuits allege that EY’s practices had a role in the company’s fraudulent practices and subsequent collapse.
TILP Rechtsanwälte, the German law firm that handled a large number of consumer lawsuits against Volkswagen in the Dieselgate scandal, has included EY in a consumer action, expanding a suit it filed in May, according to a statement released by the firm. Berlin firm Schirp & Partner also said it has filed a suit against EY, as has the German investor’s protection association SdK.
