    Let \(G\) be a finite group. In [Invent. Math. 170, No. 1, 33-101 (2007; Zbl 1138.20010)], \textit{I. M. Isaacs, G. Malle} and \textit{G. Navarro} reduced the McKay Conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups to a list of conditions for finite simple groups such that if all finite simple groups involved in \(G\) satisfy these conditions, then the McKay Conjecture holds for \(G\). In the paper under review it is shown that the following simple groups indeed satisfy these conditions: the Suzuki and Ree groups, \(G_2(q)\), \(F_4(q)\), and \(E_8(q)\).
