KPMG UK is cutting approximately 200 back-office roles as part of a broader staff reduction, according to a company spokesperson. The cuts affect support and other “back office” functions and amount to roughly 10% of staffing within those teams, the spokesperson said. Multiple reports describe the decision as a new round of restructuring following earlier job cuts.
In March, KPMG UK reduced more than 400 roles in its UK audit division, according to NDTV. The firm attributed that earlier round to a lack of natural attrition. Bloomberg’s report focuses on the scale and timing of the back-office cuts, linking them to the firm’s ongoing integration work, while still describing them as part of continued cost and workforce changes.
Taken together, the articles portray a stepwise reduction of staffing across different parts of KPMG UK—first in audit functions and then in support roles—without detailing the specific criteria used for selecting affected employees or any timelines beyond the announcement of the cuts.
