Sure. The strange thing to me (and possibly not relevant to this thread) is how 
both can be true--all E&Y  members worldwide are licensed to do WebTrust 
audits, yet E&Y Brazil was taken *off* the WebTrust list in the latest update.

I think 
http://www.webtrust.org/licensed-webtrust-practitioners-international/item64419.aspx
 and 
https://web-beta.archive.org/web/20160320161225/http://www.webtrust.org/licensed-webtrust-practitions-international/item64419.aspx
 are possibly intended to be read differently. The old list giving specific 
named firms (or branches), by country (but saying it is a list of "global 
practitioners") the new list giving many fewer firms, but the country listing 
meaning...where they are active? If WebTrust revamped their approach to 
licensing, it might be good to know why/how and when. (And I don't see anywhere 
on their site where they discuss how they license auditors at all.)
