EY Kenya faces reputational risk after the World Bank sanctioned the firm for unethical practices.

1. The World Bank’s Integrity Vice Presidency found EY Kenya guilty of fraud and corruption in a project.
2. The firm allegedly failed to implement adequate quality control measures, leading to flawed audit reports.
3. EY Kenya has been barred from working on World Bank-funded projects for 24 months.
4. The sanction may impact EY Kenya’s business, as it relies heavily on international clients.
5. The firm has apologized and promised to strengthen its quality control processes.
6. This sanction is a blow to EY Kenya’s reputation, which may take time to recover from.
