  • it concerns senior leadership of the relevant member firm

Examples of the types of areas on which you can make a report:

  • Audit Quality
  • Quality of Service Delivery
  • Independence or Conflicts of Interest
  • Integrity of Financial Reporting, Accounting, Internal Controls
  • Bribery, Corruption, Money Laundering, Fraud or other Illegal Acts
  • Information Security or Privacy
  • Ethics and Public Interest
  • Discrimination, Bullying, Intimidation, Harassment, Victimisation or other inappropriate behaviour 
  • Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
  • Health & Safety

A more detailed description of the aforementioned categories will be available on the ClearView Connects system when you file a report.

Any abuse of the KPMG International hotline may result in action being taken against the perpetrators of the abuse. In the case of partners, employees or contractors of KPMG member firms, that action may include disciplinary action including dismissal.

However, provided that you use the system in good faith, you will not face sanctions from us.
