Vodacom Board Succession Sees Saki Macozoma Retire in July 2027
Parliament released the reviews after a whistleblower proved correct, and several senior KPMG figures resigned as scrutiny of the firm’s response widened.
- On Monday, the Australian committee released previously confidential legal reviews from Allens and Ashurst regarding KPMG, documents never intended for public viewing that reveal the limited scope of investigative work performed.
- KPMG commissioned the reviews to investigate whistleblower allegations, though the firm faced criticism for shaping the terms of the work. In December 2025, Allens decided it did not need to investigate claims about shared physical confidential files.
- Whistleblower claims regarding shared confidential documents were later substantiated, yet lawyers from Allens and Ashurst remain loyal to KPMG. Partner Lea Constantine of Ashurst stated, "It's not for me to criticise KPMG."
- Michael Ebeid, former SBS boss, was voted in as KPMG's new chairman on Wednesday but faces immediate public hearings this Friday where Allens and Ashurst representatives are expected to be questioned on their investigative work.
- Numerous partners and executives, including general counsel Louise Capon and HR boss Dorothy Hisgrove, have resigned from KPMG as the firm grapples with fallout from the scandal and failed attempts to clear its name.
