whistleblower framed as legitimate and ultimately vindicated
The whistleblower’s claims were initially dismissed but later substantiated by an independent investigation, and KPMG leadership formally apologized.

“Allens's ongoing investigation not only challenged the initial findings but also revealed an additional incident when client documents were inappropriately shared.”
