KPMG not to be trusted.
Don’t let the one star be confusing. It should be zero stars. Promise and peril: The KPMG Apology Paradox Dec 2014 to Jan 2016 - KPMG South Africa takes a brief for R23 million that results in harming civil servants - primarily 4 persons and an investigative unit. The 4 are not afforded a hearing and the “report” is littered with falsities and heavily qualified to serve no purpose. Jan 2016 - Jun 2017 - Public pressure mounts, clients start deserting KPMG South Africa with their reputation tarnished. Jun 2017 to Sept 2017 - KPMG comes to South Africa for an “internal review”. They refuse to hear people. They issue a public apology to South Africa, and conclusions, findings and legal opinions are withdrawn. The full fee is paid back. September 2017 - KPMG South Africa publicly apologises to South Africa, saying “sorry will never be enough” but refuse to apologise to the people by name again. 8 partners “leave” KPMG South Africa and they donate R47 million to charity. It later turns out those that left were paid to leave. Oct 2017 - KPMG South Africa appears before Parliament admitting “the work isn’t perfect” without saying what is and what not. Jun 2018 - a professional auditing panel finds: “When a professional copies and pastes conclusions as if they are their own, that’s dishonesty and unprofessional” and “There is prima facie evidence of non-compliance with the code on the part of certain members [of KPMG].” Dec 2018 - a Commission of Inquiry finds: “The reputation of SARS was severely damaged by the allegations made in the KPMG report” and “The leadership of SARS was undermined to such an extent that it became difficult for the organisation to function effectively.” Aug 2020 - KPMG South Africa publicly admits causing harm to people, that they were traumatised and undertook to “contribute towards reparations”. They never do so. Jan 2022 - a Commission of Inquiry into state capture and *******ion finds: “The integrity and effectiveness of SARS have been compromised by political interference and discredited reports that sought to dismantle its leadership” and “The KPMG report was part of a calculated effort to weaken SARS, leading to a loss of skilled personnel and a decline in tax compliance.” KPMG stakes their entire integrity on the thoroughness of their own secret internal “review” which is never made public. 2015 - 2025: KPMG International and KPMG South Africa are challenged on the content of the secret internal “review” and report by one person. They consistently refuse to take it up. If the person is right, it’ll undo the entire spin put to the public, and their reputation will be totally ruined. They’ve painted themselves into a corner. It has happened before: Companies conduct “reviews”, issue “apologies”, but later scrutiny show these to be totally inadequate. BP - 2010 Volkswagen - 2015 Wells Fargo - 2016 United Airlines - 2017 Equifax - 2017 Facebook/Meta - 2018 Boeing - 2019 Johnson & Johnson - 2019 Nestlé - 2021 It will happen again. Totally insincere and dishonest. Not to be trusted.

Awesome company
Awesome company, will launder stolen taxpayer money and sign off on the dodgiest of cooked books, so long as you pay the extortionate 'professional fees'. Gangstas, criminals and Guptas, this is the Big 4 firm for you!

Fraud division totally ineffective
Money went out of my account in December 2016 with TELKOM as the reference. I reversed it as I am not a Telkom customer. It happened again and again and for 10 month’s I cannot get a helpful response out of Telkom. The reference on my bank account means nothing to them. Almost R3500 was debited again in the last two weeks. Perhaps a hacker and not Telkom? Telkom can’t tell me that. They use KPMG for fraud cases - no progress from KPMG since January 2017. KPMG simply email Telkom for investigation - how ridiculous is that? I follow up in May. No response. In October I email again and this is the response I get: Good day Your email below refers. Kindly note that your report TK13791 was sent to Telkom on 25 January 2017 as well as all the subsequent emails requesting feedback. No feedback has been provided by Telkom as yet. Kind regards KPMG Ethics Line So that’s KPMG’s strategy: forward my email to Telkom and wait. I emailed back: what’s the turn around time? How long do I wait? I am still waiting for a response. Very disappointing KPMG.

THEFT BY CONSOLIDATED AUCTIONEER CHICO DA SILVA
<p>Chico da Silva from Consolidated Auction Group based in Germiston and who acts as assessor and auction consultant for the IDC, ABSA, FNB,Imperial Group, Nedbank, Wesbank, Investec, Bank of Athens, BPSA, Boart Longyear, KPMB & Deloitte is a corrupt thief and through bribery he does business.</p> <p>The above companies where Chico da Silva is accredited by has been informed about Chico da Silva's dishonesty via email.</p> <p>Should the above companies ignore the truth about Chico da Silva then they are just as corrupt as Chico da Silva.</p> <p>Chico da Silva should be removed from the accredited list of all the above mentioned companies to ensure that bribery and corruption be put to an end!</p> <p>Chico da Silva is involved with bribery with SAPS and lawyers. We also have proof where Chico da Silva admits he removed my assets without obtaining a court order yet he refuses to give me back my assets after more than two years. It raises a serious concern whether Chico da Silva still has my assets or if it has been sold as he is greedy and would sell anything just for the money. He makes deals the illegal way and is guilty of theft.</p>
