McKinsey & Company, which alongside the Big Four firm played a role as an advisor to players charged with corruption and bribery, is currently facing similar hardship, with two of its large banking clients, Standard Bank and Barclays Africa, deciding to terminate their contracts with the consultancy. The Eskom case has led to a wave of criticism from politicians and the media, which spurred many companies in the country to review and even break their ties with KPMG. We understand that the immediate road ahead will be challenging, but I believe the individuals in this team have the necessary skill, experience, passion and energy to lead KPMG to, once again, be a standard setter in the professionвЂќ, said Nhlamu Dlomu, KPMGвЂ™s CEO for South Africa.Дlomu herself has over 17 yearsвЂ™ experience in management consulting and management roles gained mainly in organisational development and human resources, a background that will provide much needed expertise to navigate the firm back to stable ground. This is day one for the new KPMG, a KPMG where public interest will share an equally important role with enhanced governance, quality and ethics. вЂњI am pleased to announce a strong and experienced team of KPMG partners to lead the firm.

KPMG South Africa has unveiled the new leadership team which it has put in place to restore public trust in the firm following the media massacre it has received on the back of its role in the Eskom, Gupta and Trillian scandal.
