KPMG apologises to senators for denying the firm conducts power maps of public servants KPMG Australia’s chief executive, Andrew Yates, has apologised to senators and sought to clarify its earlier comments about power mapping. Last year, KPMG was asked whether it produced any maps that identified key decision makers within government departments and how likely they are to support the firm’s work. It unequivocally denied doing so. The maps can be used to help firms land new work.
After KPMG’s denial, Labor senator Deborah O’Neill tabled an example of power mapping conducted by the KPMG Australia. Greens senator, Barbara Pocock, subsequently used a parliamentary inquiry to accuse the firm of misleading the Senate. Here are Yates’s comments to the inquiry a few moments ago: We took too literal an approach to our response. It was never our intent to create uncertainty on this matter, and I apologise for that.
