Move follows backlash over taking £4m state handout while paying average £500,000 bonus to partners
One of the UK’s leading accountancy firms has performed a U-turn and will pay back £4.1m in furlough money it received from taxpayers after a backlash about bumper payouts to partners.
BDO, which employs 6,000 people in the UK, said it would be returning the cash to HM Revenue & Customs within days after “recognising the public mood”.
