Everton are set to explore other potential options with regards to the firm that audits their accounts but sources have refuted claims of a breakdown in relationship between the parties.
A report in the Guardian on Wednesday suggested Everton's current auditors, BDO, were considering walking away from their role in signing off the club's accounts. That raised questions among Blues fans following a particularly bruising period of financial statements over the last two years as the club battled to remain within the Premier League's profit and sustainability threshold following heavy investment.
Sources have told the ECHO that while Everton are seeking potential alternative options to BDO, who have audited their accounts for the past two years, the relationship between the two remains good and that there has been no suggestion of BDO resigning their position.
