Summary
KPMG’s regional board just lost a key independent director, Patty Akopiantz, who quietly stepped down in June — leaving only one other independent director besides new chairman Michael Ebeid. Her exit follows the departure of former NSW premier Mike Baird and comes amid confirmed allegations that KPMG misused client data to win new business, a scandal the firm initially denied but now faces mounting scrutiny. With no official comment from KPMG on Akopiantz’s departure, the firm is under intense pressure to rebuild trust as it navigates this turbulent period.
