Furious KPMG boss expels senior partner over confidential documents in locker

KPMG's chief operating officer, Eileen Hoggett, was expelled after an investigation confirmed she and other senior partners illegally accessed sensitive Lendlease board documents and stored them in a work locker. The expulsion followed a whistleblower claim regarding the unauthorized possession of confidential materials.

Why it matters: Organizations need to strengthen access controls and monitoring for sensitive documents; this case demonstrates how insiders with legitimate system access can abuse those privileges to acquire information outside their role.
