The insolvency of an auditor can cause delays in financial reporting and may require additional resources to appoint and onboard a new auditor, potentially impacting the subsidiary's operations and reporting timelines.
The insolvency of the auditor for a material subsidiary is a negative development that could lead to operational disruptions and requires further action from the company.
