Australian Greens Call for Ban on KPMG from Government Contracts Amidst Multiple Scandals

The Australian Greens are demanding that the Labor government ban KPMG from all federal government contracts, citing a series of scandals involving the firm. Despite KPMG's alleged misconduct, including sharing confidential client information and audit independence breaches, the government currently holds dozens of active audit contracts with the firm totaling $27.4 million. The Greens argue that KPMG's actions demonstrate they are unfit for public sector work and are pushing for legislative reforms to regulate Big Four firms more stringently.
