The UK accounting watchdog fined and temporarily banned the small audit firm King & King and its partner Milankumar Patel for serious failures in auditing companies owned by metals tycoon Sanjeev Gupta. The firm relied too much on fees from Gupta’s companies, violating rules that require auditors to be independent and objective.
Key Facts
King & King and Milankumar Patel were fined £378,184 and received a severe reprimand after a four-year investigation by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC).
The firm audited more than 140 companies linked to Gupta’s GFG Alliance between 2018 and 2020, including Liberty Steel and British Aluminium companies.
Nearly 41% of King & King’s 2021 revenue came from GFG Alliance companies, exceeding the 15% fee cap rule for auditors.
The firm failed to properly assess audit risks, income and expenses, financial disclosures, and whether companies could continue operating (going concern).
FRC updated rules to clarify the fee cap applies to groups of companies with the same owner.
GFG Alliance was involved in a major scandal related to Greensill Capital, which collapsed owing large loans from government-backed schemes.
The UK Serious Fraud Office is investigating GFG for suspected fraud, but the company denies any wrongdoing.
FRC banned Patel from future audits and ordered the refund of fees, emphasizing the need for auditor independence and ethics.
