KPMG is expected to face hefty job cuts as its work dries up following a whistleblower scandal. AdvertisementThere were also whispers of KPMG looking to sell the business before the whistleblower scandal broke. KPMG has been thrown into turmoil after a whistleblower alleged the firm had shared data from blue-chip clients, including construction giant Lendlease, to win new business. If PwC’s history is a useful indicator – it plunged from 10,000 employees pre-scandal to around 6000 today – KPMG has a long way to fall. CORRECTION An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that KPMG had touted it had 1000 partners.
