Big Four audit firm KPMG is facing something of an internal comms meltdown, City AM understands, amid complaints of a lack of communication during a ‘mismanaged’ redundancy round. In late March, it was reported that KPMG UK was set to axe more than 500 staff in the latest redundancy round at the Big Four giant. Those affected include 440 assistant manager roles in the audit business (Grade D) and 120 roles across the advisory arm, which impacts roughly 6 per cent of the division’s 7,100 employees.
