KPMG accused of contempt after map of govt officials emerges


KPMG has been accused of treating the Senate with contempt after a new document appeared to show the consulting firm had been ‘power mapping’ more than 70 public servants at a major New South Wales department where it held significant contracts.

The emergence of the document comes a month after KPMG told the Senate Committee investigating the unethical behaviour of consulting giants that it “does not engage in ‘power mapping’ or any other similar practice”.

KPMG has flatly denied the map amounts to power mapping, with Australian boss Andrew Yates standing by the evidence at a hearing, raising questions over whether the firm misled the Finance and Public Administration Committee.
