EY staffers reject claims of ‘fake coal’ test collusion
Liam WalshReporter
Key Points
- EY was accused of colluding in fake quality tests with Peabody coal.
- It has denied the claims in a parliamentary response.
- A Peabody whistleblower has claimed that EY was aware of changes.
EY says staff accused of turning a blind eye to coal-test manipulation have denied any knowledge of such a scandal.
The denials from the big four auditing firm contrast with a statutory declaration from a former employee of coal miner Peabody’s Australian arm, tabled in parliament, who alleged they had discussed the issue of fake coal tests with EY employees.
