Episode Details

KPMG is in deep trouble after top partners allegedly misused confidential client documents—like those from Lendlease—to win new audit contracts, triggering leadership resignations and a public apology. This echoes past scandals, including PwC’s misuse of government data, which led to a $1 sale of a business unit. With $653 million in government contracts at stake, regulators are watching closely. ASIC has launched its own probe into three auditors under the Corporations Act, and a major parliamentary hearing next Friday will feature over 30 witnesses—including KPMG execs, clients, and legal investigators—to uncover systemic failures and how such breaches can be prevented moving forward.
