This bit in particular could prove to be interesting:
"With its annual results, Sports Direct said it had held “early discussions” with the big four accountancy firms about a tender process to replace Grant Thornton.
It said PWC had a “reluctance to engage due to its ownership structure”, while KPMG, EY and Deloitte said they would have conflicts due to other clients.
It is understood that Grant Thornton’s resignation leaves the retailer struggling to find a firm to audit its books.
Sports Direct has asked the UK Government to clarify how it might act if it becomes the first major UK-listed business to fail to appoint an auditor, according to reports in the Financial Times.
It is understood that the accounting watchdog, the Financial Reporting Council, is also in conversations with Sports Direct."
