Pheijffer: korting op controlekosten wegens inzet AI kan nadelig uitpakken voor KPMG

KPMG's request for audit fee discounts from Grant Thornton due to AI implementation may backfire. The firm pressured its auditor to reduce control costs citing AI efficiency gains. However, this precedent could prompt KPMG's own clients to demand similar fee reductions, potentially impacting the firm's profitability and setting industry-wide expectations for AI-driven cost savings in audit services.
