Squiz Shortcuts: What’s going on at KPMG?
There’s been a story bubbling away in the news that’s set corporate tongues wagging about the goings on at one of the county’s biggest accounting/consultancy firms, KPMG. It’s to do with a former employee who blew the whistle on how the company was using the confidential data of its clients. Some of them are major corporations, and the fallout has led to a public inquiry and several execs being shown the door… So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll get you across what it’s about, some context, and explain why it’s getting so much attention… Squiz Recommends: Perusing: This explainer from The Guardian which looks at the allegations against KPMG and some of the contracts it stands to lose.
