Big Four shop overseas for Sarbox talent

Some of the UK's biggest accounting firms have begun heavily recruiting staff from abroad, particularly from eastern Europe, because demand is far outweighing supply for Sarbanes-Oxley expertise.

KPMG has one of the most established recruitment programmes. Recruitment director Keith Dugdale said that, since last year, the firm had been drafting in accountants from central and eastern Europe where educational standards and expertise is high.

Glyn Barker, UK head of practice assurance at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said the firm 'constantly has international secondment programmes' in place to ensure it was able to cope with increased workloads in particular areas.

Ernst & Young and Deloitte were not available for comment.
