The NSW and Victorian governments take action involving KPMG amid an ongoing whistleblower-related matter. NSW says it has put the auditing and consulting firm on notice and has requested assurances that individuals who are under investigation as part of the whistleblower scandal are not working on government contracts. The state’s approach focuses on preventing any involvement by those under scrutiny in work delivered to government agencies.
Victoria also responds to the situation by stating it is reviewing its contracts with KPMG. The review is intended to assess KPMG’s current contractual arrangements in light of the allegations and investigations linked to the whistleblower scandal.
While both states reference concerns connected to the same whistleblower controversy, their actions differ in emphasis: NSW seeks specific guarantees regarding staffing on government work, while Victoria’s steps involve broader contract assessment. No sources provide additional details in the supplied reports about the scope of the contracts, the outcomes of the requested assurances, or the status of the investigations.
