Deloitte Anjin loses HMM contract

Korea Development Bank (KDB) has ditched due Deloitte Anjin to carry out due diligence on Hyundai Merchant Marine (HMM) because of the accounting firm’s troubles in covering another KDB bailout firm, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME).

A massive accounting fraud running into trillions of won was unearthed at shipyard DSME last year. KDB is the largest shareholder in DSME.
