Former KPMG partner accused of sexual misconduct, cash commissions and fund misuse in parliamentary inquiry

A whistleblower’s document, entered into evidence in a parliamentary probe of the KPMG audit-leaks controversy, accuses former partner Philip Henry of a range of misconduct during his tenure. The accusations include making unwanted sexual advances and inappropriate comments to female employees and clients, as well as bullying a whistleblower to act beyond her contract. The letter further alleges Henry received undisclosed cash commissions for arranging tax arrangements, accepted personal gifts like a garage door, a painted residence and a sedan in lieu of fees, and misappropriated client trust-account funds for personal purchases such as a jet ski.

It also claims he falsified internal election results and facilitated illegal cash transport across borders. KPMG investigated but said the claims were too historic to verify, and the firm has not commented further. A next public hearing is scheduled for early September.
