Fortune 100 Audit Fees – 2014

November 4, 2015 5 Comments

Back for a third year of audit fee data. I’ve pulled together information on fees paid by the 100 largest of the Fortune 500 companies (“Fortune 100”).  I’m presenting it two ways;

  1. Sorted by Fortune 100 ranking (see table below)
  2. Sorted by audit fees (see here).

Here’s the executive summary:

  • Audit fees vary widely, ranging from $2.2 million (INTL FCStone) to $100.9 million (Bank of America)*
  • When ranked by audit fees paid, 6 of the top 10 companies are in the financial services sector
  • The Big4 firms audit 99% of the Fortune 100; PwC audits 35 of 100, EY 27, Deloitte 22, KPMG 15, and non-Big4 Grant Thornton audits 1
  • In terms of audit fee dollars, PwC got 43%, Deloitte 23%, EY 21%, and KPMG 13%
  • Pfizer saw the biggest drop in audit fees year over year, decreasing nearly $17 million, or 38%

* This is the third year in a row that INTL FCStone and BofA have ranked lowest and highest, respectively, in fees paid to auditors.

And before wading into the table, you should know:

  • the information in the first four columns comes from the Fortune website
  • the information in the Auditor, Audit, Audit-Related, Tax, and All Other columns comes from SEC filings (usually a 14A proxy statement) and relates to fiscal years (not necessarily calendar years).
  • this year I’m including data for Audit-related, tax, and all other fees paid to auditors

Strap in, here we go:

Fortune 100 Audit Fees – 2013

August 6, 2014 5 Comments

Update: 2013 data is good, but more recent data from 2014 is now available

Big companies pay big audit fees. But how much exactly do they pay? I’ve pulled together data on fees paid by the 100 largest of the Fortune 500 companies (“Fortune 100”).  I’m presenting it two ways;

  1. Sorted by Fortune 100 ranking (see table below)
  2. Sorted by audit fees (see here).

Here’s the executive summary:

  • Audit fees vary widely, ranging from $2.8 million (INTL FCStone) to $86.5 million (Bank of America)*
  • When ranked by audit fees paid, 8 of the top 10 companies are in the financial services sector
  • The Fortune 100 is 99% Big4 territory; PwC audits 35 of 100, EY 28, Deloitte 22, KPMG 14, and non-Big4 Grant Thornton audits 1
  • In terms of audit fee dollars, PwC got 43%, EY 19%, Deloitte 23%, and KPMG 15%
  • Pfizer saw the biggest drop in audit fees year over year, decreasing nearly $17 million, or 38%

*INTL FCStone and BofA ranked lowest and highest, respectively in audit fees paid in 2012 as well. Interestingly, BofA paid less in 2013 vs 2012, while INTL FCStone paid more.

And before diving into the table, you should know:

  • the information in the first four columns comes from the Fortune website
  • the information in the Auditor and 2013 & 2012 Audit Fees columns comes from SEC filings (usually a 14A proxy statement) and relates to fiscal years (not necessarily calendar years).
  • this is only audit fee data. Audit-related, tax, and all other fees paid to auditors are not included

Strap in, this goes on for a while:

Fortune 100 Audit Fees – 2012

January 2, 2014 2 Comments

 

Update: Since this was initially published, we’ve compiled an updated analysis of audit fees, which includes 2013 (and 2012) data, available here. If you just want 2012 data by itself, keep reading.

Original post:

Spent some time recently looking at audit fees paid by the 100 largest of the Fortune 500 companies (“Fortune 100”), and which audit firms the fees are paid to. I’m presenting it two ways;

  1. Sorted by Fortune 100 ranking (see table below)
  2. Sorted by audit fees (see here).

If you don’t feel like wading through the data, here’s what jumped out at me:

  • Of the Fortune 100 companies, PwC audits 35, EY 28, Deloitte 22, and KPMG 15
  • Audit fees ranged from $1.9 million (INTL FCStone) to $90.9 million (Bank of America)
  • When ranked by audit fees paid, 8 of the top 10 companies are in the financial services sector
  • Audit fees paid by big box retailers tend to be on the lower side; Wal-Mart, #1 on the Fortune list, ranks 53rd in terms of fees paid. Home Depot, Best Buy, Target, and Lowe’s all rank 75 or lower.
  • Those who choose to disclose it have relationships with their auditors that go back decades.

And before diving into the table, you should know:

  • the information in the first three columns comes from the Fortune website
  • the information in the Auditor and 2012 Audit Fees columns comes from SEC filings (usually a 14A proxy statement) and relates to fiscal 2012
  • this is only audit fee data. Audit-related, tax, and all other fees paid to auditors are not included

Here we go:
