public accounting

Hi. Is Big 4 considered as public sector? I thought they are under private sector? 

It's considered to be public accounting - and the audit is done on both public and private companies. Agree though - seems strange if you dig deep to figure out why.

It's public because it is required by the use of force (i.e. the law) to have your books audited by the big4 if you are a publicly exchanged company. So in that sense the big4 is no different then a blood sucking government job.
