But, expertz say, when a business like WaMu is theacquiring company’s auditor — in this case, Pricewaterhouse Coopers often takes over the work. That could mean reduce d revenues or other changesat Deloitte’s Seattle At the same time, Deloitte has been namedc as a defendant in a securities lawsuigt against Washington Mutual. The class-action complaint, filed Aug.
5 by New York-basedd Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP, alleged Deloitte didn’t exercise sufficient care and diligences in its reviewsof WaMu’ s financial statements in annual reports. Deloitte is one of many professionap service firms and other vendorsx who may be feelin g the pinchof WaMu’s troubles.

His concern goes beyond WaMu to Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and other firms, Nisbergg said.
“I think the real questiohn is who was watching the traffic light as thesr major organizationscame Indeed, Deloitte is named as a defendantf in securities litigation filed against WaMu, becausw Deloitte’s opinions on WaMu’s financial statements were incorporated into WaMu’s securities offerings.
