澳大利亚跨党派议会委员会对会计咨询巨头KPMG的不当行为进行了公开听证会。1KPMG审计部门曾访问客户Lendlease的机密董事会文件以争取审计合同，构成重大信任违反。1KPMG前审计负责人Julian McPherson在6月听证会上承认于2024年5月30日授权搜查举报人工作笔记本。1
委员会由工党参议员Deborah O'Neill担任主席，并包括自由党参议员Paul Scarr和Richard Colbeck、绿党参议员Barbara Pocock等跨党派代表。1委员会强调，对这些大型会计师事务所需要实施"非常大的处罚"和"真正重大的结构改革"，以挑战失败的合伙制模式。1
An Australian cross-party parliamentary committee has conducted public hearings into accounting giant KPMG, exposing serious breaches of client confidentiality and retaliation against whistleblowers by firm executives.1 The inquiry revealed that KPMG's audit department accessed confidential board documents belonging to client Lendlease to secure an audit contract, constituting a significant violation of trust.1 KPMG's former audit chief Julian McPherson acknowledged during June hearings that he authorized a search of a whistleblower's work laptop on May 30, 2024.1
The committee, chaired by Labor Senator Deborah O'Neill, comprises cross-party representatives including Liberal Senators Paul Scarr and Richard Colbeck, and Greens Senator Barbara Pocock.1 O'Neill has earned broad commendation across party lines for leading the investigation into these ethical failures.1 The committee has called for substantial penalties and fundamental structural reforms to address what it views as a failed partnership model within these large accounting firms.1 Senator Pocock announced plans to retire at the 2028 election.1
