Ex-Deloitte Philippines Information Hub
The Ex-Deloitte Philippines Information Hub is officially launched. No cutting of ribbons, really. Just putting up the website online.
The site was designed to cater to the former C.L. Manabat & Co. (Deloitte – Philippines) professionals, wherever side of the world they currently are, as a common online hang out. A community where former officemates may meet and greet each other, discuss in forums and topics of common interests, and reminisce the moments we shared during our long or even short stints in the firm.
So, calling all ex-CLMC employees to register and sign-up now for a new account. I look forward to meeting you there.
The Big Four
It’s interesting to note how the Big 8 was cut down into the Big 4. Read how.
The firms were called the Big 8 in the 1970s and 1980s, reflecting the international dominance of the eight largest accountancy firms:
- Arthur Andersen
- Arthur Young & Company
- Coopers & Lybrand
- Ernst & Whinney (formerly Ernst & Ernst)
- Haskins & Sells (merged with the European firm Deloitte Plender Griffiths to become Deloitte, Haskins and Sells)
- KPMG (formed by merger of Peat Marwick International and KMG Group)
- Price Waterhouse
- Touche Ross
