Lendlease executives criticise consultancy KPMG during a live parliamentary committee hearing examining allegations that KPMG misused confidential client information to secure work. Across reporting from multiple outlets, the hearing focuses on claims that KPMG accessed or handled sensitive information improperly and then used it to win contracts connected to Lendlease. Lendlease’s representatives describe the conduct as a serious breach of trust, with their remarks characterising the alleged behaviour as fundamental. The committee inquiry is also linked to personnel changes: reports state that resignations have already occurred in response to the allegations and ongoing scrutiny. The hearing is presented as part of a broader process to determine what information was involved, how it was handled, and whether any wrongdoing contributed to procurement decisions. While outlets agree on the core allegations under investigation and Lendlease’s reaction, they also present the matter as an inquiry rather than a final determination, with the committee seeking evidence and explanations from those involved.
