from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board found that in 2018, 27.3% of EY's audits had "deficiencies," meaning the auditor didn't have sufficient evidence at the time to support its opinion on the company's financials.

EY isn't alone: The PCAOB found that Deloitte's rate of deficiencies was 20% and KPMG's was 50% in 2018.
