Περίληψη: The article focuses on the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's (ASIC) ongoing investigations into misconduct within the country's audit and consulting industry, particularly involving the "big four" accounting firms: KPMG, Deloitte, EY, and PwC. ASIC Chair Sarah Court revealed that the regulator has received 551 complaints related to audit conduct and is expanding probes into issues such as misuse of confidential information and potential breaches of directors' duties at KPMG. These investigations follow recent scandals, including whistleblower allegations against KPMG and prior revelations about PwC leaking private government tax data. ASIC is currently gathering information and has not yet determined how many complaints will result in formal enforcement actions. [Extracted from the article]
