The CARES Act authorized the Coronavirus Relief Fund, a $150 billion fund for state and local governments. The fund was intended for assistance in pandemic response and business assistance, and many of these governments chose to spend it on consulting services from Deloitte Consulting. In all, the firm was paid $106.2 million from the relief program. 

Deloitte Consulting is the largest global consulting firm on Earth, generating over $50 billion in revenue during fiscal year 2021. In 2018, Deloitte paid the United States a $149.5 million settlement to resolve a potential False Claims Act liability arising from the firm's role as the auditor of failed federally-insured mortgage lender Taylor, Bean & Whitaker Mortgage Corp.
