Ernst & Young LLP

Also known as Ernst & Young

What it does

Ernst & Young LLP served as Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.’s independent auditor. This entry identifies the auditor in that historical account, rather than treating the EY global network as one legal firm.

EY explains that its member firms are separate legal entities and that Ernst & Young Global Limited does not provide services to clients. The Lehman examiner’s report discussed potential claims concerning the auditor’s work; those investigative conclusions are distinct from a court judgment.
