Mazars and BDO are large yes, but they're not well respected. Over the past decade, both have had the ignominious distinction of having the worst PCAOB review scores of the top 100 accounting firms. It appears that their auditing practices in the U.K. aren't any better. (And both Mazars and BDO provided tax and auditing services to the Zuma and Ramaphosa administrations in South Africa, though this is because BDO's former S.A. member firm became Mazar's S.A. member firm.)
A large part of my early career in tax was fixing the mistakes made by tax advisors at these two firms.
Those who know, avoid BDO. (And Mazars too. They're actually worse.)
Is there a resource to look up such things for future reference? Furthermore, are any open-source projects familiar with any of these top 100 accounting firms?
