KPMG-jev sedež v Sydneyju je bil v sredo, 1. julija 2026, zaradi grožnje, ki jo je zagrozil zaposleni, po poročilih iz * The Sydney Morning Herald * in * The Age *. To se je zgodilo v ključnem času za računovodskega velikanja, ko se je pripravljal na objavo imenovanja Michaela Ebeida za novega predsednika.
KPMG je v glavnem sedežu Barangaroo, ki se nahaja v korporativnem okrožju ob pristanišču v Sidneju.
Ta incident je prekinil priprave na uradno objavo imenovanja Ebeida, ki je bila objavljena v četrtek zjutraj. Izbira Ebeida označuje prvo fazo širše strategije, katere cilj je obravnavanje notranjih vprašanj integritete v organizaciji.
Poleg tega, da mora podjetje voditi skozi te izzive, se je Ebeid soočil z nujno nalogo imenovanja novega izvršnega direktorja. Pojasnil je, da bo to ključen naslednji korak, saj se pričakuje, da bo odbor dokončal odločitev pred koncem julija.
Medtem ko prejšnji voditelji - Peter Yates in Martin Sheppard - niso bili vpleteni v nobeno kršitev, se zdi, da je med nekaterimi partnerji nezadovoljstvo glede obravnave obtožb o žvižgaču.
KPMG je obravnaval tudi nedavne zakonodajne predloge zvezne vlade v zvezi z revizijskim sektorjem.Ti ukrepi, ki bi lahko vključevali prestrukturiranje velikih svetovalnih podjetij in zmanjšanje števila partnerjev na 400, so bili del širšega prizadevanja za izboljšanje upravljanja in preglednosti.
Predlagane reforme izvirajo iz davčnega škandala PwC, čeprav je bil napredek počasen, dokler se ni v marcu 2026 pojavil lastni škandal KPMG. Predstavnik KPMG je ponovil podporo podjetja pobudam, ki spodbujajo neodvisnost revizorjev, regulativni nadzor in zaupanje javnosti v strokovne standarde.
KPMG se kljub težavam, s katerimi se je soočil, pripravlja na novo poglavje, saj ima Ebeid na čelu in novo vodstveno strukturo.
