四大会计师事务所主席就特朗普旅游禁令表态
针对特朗普上周发布的限制7个国家的旅客旅行入境的禁令，美国国内很多企业的CEO们都表达了反对，国际四大会计事务所的的老大们也表达了自己的立场。
普华永道美国主席Tim Ryan是四大种第一个站出来标明立场的。Tim Ryan在脸书上给员工发出信息指出：普华永道始终坚持开放、多元、包容的文化。他说，过去几个月以来我得到了一个教训就是 ，当我们遇到影响公司员工的问题的时候，沉默将不再是我们的选择.."
安永CEO Weinberger是特朗统经济顾问团成员，他发电邮给全体员工指出：该禁令会对安永这家全球化的组织产生影响，安永已跟安永全球的各个分支进行了沟通并愿为受影响的员工提供积极帮助。另外他强调国家安全和开放自由的人权文化这两个诉求需要保持平衡，主张通过对话寻找解决方案。
德勤CEO Cathy Engelbert 接受彭博社采访时表示，德勤将捍卫多元、包容的企业核心价值观。“we have an important role in demonstrating our values -- and Deloitte’s inclusive culture -- by supporting those around us in every interaction at work, at home, with our clients and in our communities.”
毕马威目前尚未对特朗普的旅行禁令公开表态， 但从国际四大会计师事务所共同的全球业务特点和多元和包容的员工文化来看， 普华永道、安永和德勤的表态已经发出了跨国会计师事务所的呼声。

EY and PwC speak out on Trump travel ban
http://economia.icaew.com/news/february-2017/ey-and-pwc-speak-out-on-trump-travel-ban
Two of the Big Four eager to reassure and protect employees affected by Donald Trump’s executive order blocking visitors from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen from entering the US for 90 days
The order applies to admission and re-entry into the US for all individuals from the seven listed countries that are not already US citizens. It also suspended entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days, barred Syrian refugees indefinitely.
Trump said the immigration ban on the seven predominantly Muslim countries was “not about religion” but about terror and “keeping our country safe”.
However, valid visa holders and longtime permanent residents with green-cards along with refugees who have been approved entry to the US have been detained and in some cases denied entry in the hours after the order was signed.
National stay was later granted to those detained at US airports with the threat of deportation after The American Civil Liberties Union and other challengers filed a lawsuit on behalf of individuals who were subject to the ban. The White House also seemed to reverse a key part of the order saying that green card holders would not be blocked from returning to the US.
BIG FOUR
PwC was the first of the Big Four firms to reach out to employees in the wake of the ban warning “silence isn't an option”.
The firm's US chairman posted a message to the employees of PwC's US firm on Facebook saying, “We’re in the process of evaluating how the executive order impacts our people, and our Global Mobility team is contacting anyone we think may be affected.”
He told staff, “I want to reinforce that PwC stands for inclusion, understanding, acceptance and equal opportunity for all…full stop.”
“We know that talent has no borders and that our firm, our clients, and our country all benefit when people of all backgrounds have the opportunity to reach their full potential.”
Ryan reminded staff that “an act of compassion can go a long way” and urged employees to support each other.
He wrote, “One lesson I've learned over the last few months is that when there are difficult issues affecting our people, silence isn’t an option.”
“We are a team that is made stronger by people of different backgrounds, beliefs, culture and the many other dimensions of diversity. Let’s stand together and keep our focus on the important work that we do and the clients who are depending on us,” he concluded.
EY’s global chairman and CEO, Mark Weinberger said the executive order “will have an impact on our ability to work as a globally connected organisation.”
He added that the firm has communicated “to all of EY's quarter of a million people around the world that we are working through the implications of this order and stand ready to assist any impacted employees”.
Weinberger stressed, “The strength of EY lies in our people, values and culture, all of which are built on a foundation of respect for all individuals.”
He added, “Efforts to strengthen national security, which underlie the Executive Order, are important and must be balanced with the commitment to being an open and free country that recognises, and cherishes, the value of all people, including immigrants.
“That is the only certain way to achieve sustainable economic and physical security. We need to work together to achieve this balance and have a productive dialogue, informed by what we are hearing around the world. We commit to engage fully in this dialogue.”
EY has offices in Iraq, Libya and Syria.
Deloitte and KPMG have been contacted for comment.
Deloitte has offices in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen, and KPMG has offices in Yemen.
BIG BUSINESS
Goldman Sachs chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein left a message in staff voicemail inboxes saying the executive order “is not a policy we support” adding that the bank is “focused on supporting our colleagues and their families who may be affected”.
He added that now was “fitting time” to reflect on the bank's stated commitment to diversity.
Michael Corbat, chief executive of CitiGroup reportedly wrote to staff saying, “We are concerned about the message the executive order sends, as well as the impact immigration policies could have on our ability to serve our clients and contribute to growth.”
Starbucks chief executive Howard Schultz also voiced a strong opposition to the order and pledged to hire 10,000 refugees in the US in the wake of the order, which he said calls the promise of the American Dream into question.
“There are more than 65 million citizens of the world recognised as refugees by the United Nations, and we are developing plans to hire 10,000 of them over five years in the 75 countries around the world where Starbucks does business,” he wrote in an open letter.
He added that the company has been in “direct contact” with employees impacted by the ban and is doing “everything possible to support and help them to navigate through this confusing period”.
TECH SPEAKS OUT
Tech firms were also quick to criticise the order and offer their support to employees.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to his Facebook page to voice his concern writing, “The United States is a nation of immigrants, and we should be proud of that.”
Zuckerberg said, “We need to keep this country safe, but we should do that by focusing on people who actually pose a threat.”
Netflix CEO Reed Hastings added, "Trump's actions are hurting Netflix employees around the world, and are so un-American it pains us all."
“It is time to link arms together to protect American values of freedom and opportunity," he added.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said, "The executive order's humanitarian and economic impact is real and upsetting” while Apple CEO Tim Cook, said, "Apple would not exist without immigration, let alone thrive and innovate the way we do.”
In an email obtained by Redcode, Cook said, "There are employees at Apple who are directly affected by yesterday's immigration order. Our HR, Legal and Security teams are in contact with them, and Apple will do everything we can to support them.”
Cook said the company has reached out to the White House “to explain the negative effect on our co-workers and our company".
Microsoft is also providing legal advice and assistance to employees affected by the order. The company said at least 76 employees were affected.
"As an immigrant and as a CEO, I’ve both experienced and seen the positive impact that immigration has on our company, for the country, and for the world. We will continue to advocate on this important topic," CEO Satya Nadella wrote in a blog post.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai urged employees travelling overseas who may be affected by the ban to return to the US immediately in a memo to Google staff obtained by Bloomberg.
According to the memo, more than 100 employees are affected by the order.
"It's painful to see the personal cost of this executive order on our colleagues," Pichai wrote.
"We've always made our view on immigration issues known publicly and will continue to do so."
Employees from Google staged a large-scale walkout on Monday at eight campuses across the US to protest the immigration order.

PwC Inside· 1月30日 13:05 ·
A message to the people of the US firm from Tim Ryan
Team,
As you have heard, President Trump signed an executive order barring immigrants for 90 days from seven countries.
We're in the process of evaluating how the executive order impacts our people, and our Global Mobility team is contacting anyone we think may be affected. In addition, we recognize there may be some individuals covered by the executive order that our team cannot identify. If you have personal questions or concerns, please watch for an update later today from Mike Fenlon, our Chief People Officer, on the PwC Inside internal homepage. This update will provide more specific guidance on how to get help with your questions. This situation is very fluid and will likely continue to evolve.
I want to thank all those who have reached out to me in the last 48 hours or so sharing your views. I have heard heartbreaking stories of people who had to cancel plans to visit loved ones or have friends who were outside the country when the order was issued and are not able to re-enter. Some have also written simply to share their fear, concern and desire to help those who need help.
I want to reinforce that PwC stands for inclusion, understanding, acceptance and equal opportunity for all...full stop.
We know that talent has no borders and that our firm, our clients, and our country all benefit when people of all backgrounds have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
I’m asking all of us to be guided by our values, to support each other and to listen and support those who need it. An act of compassion can go a long way. While none of us have all the answers, simply listening and letting someone know you care provides more support than we might understand. One lesson I've learned over the past few months is that when there are difficult issues affecting our people, silence isn't an option.
Team, this is a fast-moving situation. Watch PwC Inside for updates, including one later today.
In the meantime, I ask you to treat each other with care. We are a team that is made stronger by people of different backgrounds, beliefs, cultures and the many other dimensions of diversity. Let’s stand together and keep our focus on the important work that we do and the clients who are depending on us.
德勤CEO接受彭博社采访的表态信息：
At Deloitte, Chief Executive Officer Cathy Engelbert told employees that the company had identified 25 U.S.-based professionals who might be affected by Trump’s order and is encouraging them not to travel outside the nation. She also said “we have an important role in demonstrating our values -- and Deloitte’s inclusive culture -- by supporting those around us in every interaction at work, at home, with our clients and in our communities.”

Ahead of meeting with Trump, EY CEO says immigration ban 'will have an impact on our ability to work as a global organization' ( 来自business insider)
EY (formerly Ernst & Young) CEO Mark Weinberger emailed employees Monday about President Donald Trump's immigration ban, saying it would affect the company's "ability to work as a globally connected organization," and offered help to any employees affected.
On Friday, Trump signed an executive order that barred immigrants from seven Muslim-majority nations labeled as security threats from entering the United States.
EY, as one of the world's largest accounting firms, has roughly 250,000 employees globally, and Weinberger is one of the 19 members of Trump's business advisory council, the Strategic and Policy Forum. The president will be meeting for the first time with the council on Friday.
In his statement, Weinberger did not outright condemn the president's executive order, but said that EY was committed to "a diverse and inclusive culture" and that national security efforts must be balanced with being "an open and free country that recognizes, and cherishes, the value of all people, including immigrants."
Weinberger's statement is below. A version of it was emailed to employees on Monday, along with resources for those who were affected by the ban. The company would not comment on how many employees may have been affected.
"The Executive Order issued by President Trump last week to re-evaluate the US visa issuance process and US Refugee Admission Program will have an impact on our ability to work as a globally connected organization. We communicated yesterday to all of EY's quarter of a million people around the world that we are working through the implications of this order and stand ready to assist any impacted employees.
"We also restated our commitment to being globally connected and to supporting our EY people around the world. The strength of EY lies in our people, values and culture, all of which are built on a foundation of respect for all individuals. We have worked hard as an organization to build a culture that values differences across all backgrounds, geographies and faiths. This commitment to a diverse and inclusive culture remains steadfast. It gives confidence to all our people that they belong as part of our EY family.
"Efforts to strengthen national security, which underlie the Executive Order, are important and must be balanced with the commitment to being an open and free country that recognizes, and cherishes, the value of all people, including immigrants. That is the only certain way to achieve sustainable economic and physical security. We need to work together to achieve this balance and have a productive dialogue, informed by what we are hearing around the world. We commit to engage fully in this dialogue."
Other members of Trump's business advisory council who have issued responses to the ban, ranging from wary to critical, include JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
