Japan EYG member firms operating in Japan are separate and independent legal entities. There is no regional governance entity in Japan. EY was formed from several mergers of ancestral companies over the past century and a half, the oldest of which was founded in England in 1849 as Harding & Pullein. That same year, the firm was assisted by an accountant named Frederick Whinney, who became a partner ten years later. After her son joined the firm, it was renamed Whinney, Smith & Whinney in 1894.

Ernst & Young significantly expanded its consulting practice in the 1980s and 1990s. Meanwhile, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and various members of the investment community began raising concerns about a potential conflict of interest.
This conflict is allegedly caused by the fact that companies simultaneously provide consulting and audit services to overlapping clients, a common practice among the “Big Five”. In May 2000, Ernst & Young became the first of these companies to completely separate its consulting practices by selling it to French IT services firm Capgemini for $11 billion and creating a new company, Capgemini Ernst & Young, which was later renamed Capgemini. [22] EY`s member firm in Japan, Ernst & Young ShinNihon, was fined 2.1 billion yen ($17.4 million) for failing to discover irregularities during the audit of its client Toshiba, which was Japan`s worst accounting scandal in years. The company was also suspended from starting new activities for three months. An official from Japan`s Financial Services Agency (FSA) described that “there had been a serious breach of duty.” She primarily provides her clients with audit (including financial audit), tax, advisory and advisory services. [10] Like many large accounting firms in recent years,[11] EY has expanded into markets adjacent to accounting, including strategy, operations, human resources, technology and financial services. [12] EY acts as a network of member firms structured as separate legal entities in a partnership that employs 312,250 people in more than 700 offices in more than 150 countries around the world. [13] The firm`s current partnership was established in 1989 by the amalgamation of two accounting firms; Ernst & Whinney and Arthur Young & Co.[14] It was called Ernst & Young until a rebranding campaign officially changed its name to EY in 2013,[15] although this abbreviation had already been used informally before its approved adoption.
