EY Germany announces plans to reduce 40 partners and 380 employees to improve profitability following the impact of the Wirecard scandal.
It plans to cut jobs, focusing on reducing back-office costs to improve profitability in one of its largest global operations.
The majority of the 40 partners being cut are from the audit practice, and the cuts represent about 5% of the 800 equity and salaried partners within EY's German business.
