Accountancy giant Ernst & Young has been sued by New York's attorney general over its role in the collapse of Lehman Brothers during the financial crisis in 2008.
Andrew Cuomo claimed the firm was complicit in a "massive accounting fraud" perpetrated by Lehman.
Ernst & Young said that it would "vigorously defend" itself.
"There is no factual or legal basis for a claim to be brought against an auditor in this context," it said.
"Lehman's audited financial statements clearly portrayed Lehman as a highly leveraged entity operating in a risky and volatile industry."
It should be know that ernst is tanzanian....
