恒大账务造假 普华永道是共犯还是被拖累？PwC's Evergrande scandal in China
世界四大会计事务所之一、总部设在英国的普华永道（PricewaterhouseCoopers, PwC），因替中国房地产巨头恒大集团出具虚假审计报告，被中国财政部罚款人民币4.41亿元（8070万新元），并处以停业六个月的处罚，同时撤销了普华永道广州分所的执业资格。
普华永道因对恒大集团的虚假账目“睁一只眼、闭一只眼” 而陷入危机。而在香港上市的恒大集团今年1月已被下令清盘，留下超过3000亿美元的债务、上百万套烂尾楼，以及数十亿美元的财富管理产品违约。
恒大账目造假，普华永道作为审计机构应承担多少责任？这背后是否存在利益输送？
