KPMG Australia is cutting nearly 400 jobs amid a restructuring triggered by loss of government contracts and scrutiny over unethical audit practices and whistleblower handling, with the majority of cuts in consulting and business services due to weakening demand and reduced government reliance on external consultants.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your consulting business just got harder in Australia as KPMG's job cuts signal shrinking demand and government pullback for external consultants. Cut costs or pivot fast to avoid exposure to this tightening market.
