SAVINGS AND LOANS
Audit at Your Peril
</hdr><body>
<p> It was another nail-biting week for the number crunchers at
Ernst & Young. America's biggest accounting firm tentatively
agreed to pay some $40 million to the Federal Government for
faulty work done by a predecessor firm, Arthur Young & Co., on
behalf of Charles Keating's failed Lincoln Savings. The
settlement could be a bargain: it should keep Ernst from being
named in a $2 billion government fraud-and-racketeering suit
stemming from Lincoln's collapse.
</p>
<p> But the accounting firm barely has time to celebrate. The
SEC is investigating whether 36 Young partners improperly
borrowed money from Republicbank of Dallas. Some of them had
audited the bank (and certified it healthy) a year before it
also crumbled.
