Ernst & Young spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością Corporate Finance sp.k. (Poland), which became an advisor in privatization of public joint-stock company Centrenergo in July 2017, did not receive the money for the services provided by the company due to many remarks about its work.

"Due to the numerous comments on the quality of services that were provided by the advisor in accordance with the terms of the contract, the services of the advisor were not paid," the State Property Fund (SPF) of Ukraine said in an official response to the Interfax-Ukraine's request regarding the terms of the contract on the provision of the services of an advisor on the sale of Centrenergo and the amount of payment for these services.

At the same time, the State Property Fund did not specify exactly what remarks were to the work of the advisor.
