## Resource

KPMG faces a major setback after agreeing to a temporary ban on new federal contracts until September 2026, as the Department of Finance launches a sweeping review into allegations of executives misusing sensitive data for personal gain. The probe will scrutinize KPMG’s governance, culture, and ethics, echoing past scandals at rival firm PwC that led to massive financial losses and staff cuts. With hundreds of millions in federal contracts currently at stake, the government’s move underscores its commitment to accountability — while state governments and a parliamentary committee prepare to reassess KPMG’s role and demand answers on how such misconduct went undetected for so long.
