KPMG paid more than $500,000 to a former senior manager who alleged wrongdoing in the firm’s tax division, at the same time as the big four firm faced allegations of data misuse in the audit team.
The payment was arranged by former chairman Martin Sheppard in late 2024 and was subject to confidentiality provisions, in an attempt to ensure the claims of impropriety by tax partners would remain private.
