Summary
KPMG’s handling of a whistleblower scandal is under fire after a damning internal report — paid for by the firm itself — reveals critical gaps: no access to the whistleblower, missing key records, and conclusions based on educated guesses. The report accuses KPMG of ignoring its own values by adopting a rigid, legalistic approach that harmed the whistleblower, all while senior staff allegedly misused private client data — a major breach in the auditing world. The fallout has been severe: top executives resigned, major clients like Lendlease and Macquarie left, and regulators are investigating possible deception. Despite these flaws, the report offers concrete fixes: an independent integrity office and a dedicated whistleblower protector. KPMG has apologized again, admitting senior staff acted unacceptably and mishandled the case — but with so many facts still missing, the full picture remains murky.
