## Resource

KPMG Australia’s head has stepped down amid a major regulatory probe by ASIC into alleged misuse of client confidential information by a handful of auditors. The investigation was triggered by Lendlease’s claims that KPMG staff allegedly used sensitive board documents to help win Westpac’s audit contract — actions Lendlease called “not acceptable.” ASIC chair Joe Longo described the conduct as a breach of standard auditor-client ethics, while KPMG is cooperating but seeking legal privilege over some internal findings. The case underscores growing concerns about audit integrity and public trust in financial services. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
