The NSW Government expects all suppliers to meet the highest standards of integrity, governance and professional conduct.
In light of the serious concerns which have been raised about KPMG's work practices, the Government is seeking assurances about the management of confidential information and whether any personnel under investigation are currently working on NSW Government contracts.
The information KPMG provides will inform any further action the Government may take.
We will also continue to monitor developments in other jurisdictions and will not hesitate to act to protect the interests of the people of NSW.
We are committed to upholding the highest standard among our suppliers.
Since coming to office, the Minns Labor Government has strengthened procurement rules, tightened conflict of interest safeguards and reduced reliance on consultants across government.
This includes multi-million-dollar penalties introduced in September 2023 for individuals, corporations or other organisations caught using or disclosing confidential government taxation information.
