The auditors of digraced fraudster Bernard Madoff have will have permanent injunctions placed against them after admitting to a partial judgement in a US court.

The US financial regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission said Madoff’s auditor, Friehling and Friehling & Horowitz, would not fight claims they “enabled Madoff's fraud by falsely stating they audited the convicted fraudster's financial statements”

The SEC claimed Friehling and F&H enabled Madoff's Ponzi scheme by falsely stating, in annual audit reports, that F&H audited Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC's financial statements pursuant to standards.
