Management Consulting Group, derives two-thirds of its turnover from the US. They have been particularly successful in helping companies enhance their internal controls.

MCG saw its income increase to £62.9m from £43.3m for the first 6 months. The performance helped by the regulatory wall between auditors and consultants from the same firm advising a single company.
