KPMG acquires stake in deepfake detection platform Reality Defender

KPMG LLP has acquired a minority stake in Reality Defender, a platform specialising in deepfake detection. Financial terms were not disclosed. Reality Defender's multimodal detection technology integrates with communications platforms and enterprise workflows to assess the authenticity of voice and video in real time. This enables organisations to respond to suspected impersonation attempts and fraud. The investment will allow KPMG to incorporate deepfake detection capabilities into its cyber and fraud prevention practices. The deal forms part of KPMG's broader focus on helping clients adopt AI whilst managing associated risks. Reality Defender co-founder and CEO Ben Colman said highly convincing synthetic media now challenges traditional assumptions about identity verification. The partnership aims to help organisations strengthen defences against AI-enabled fraud.

KPMG and EY win $579M UK civil servants training contract despite consultancy spending pledge

The UK Government has awarded a contract worth up to £456 million to KPMG and EY to train civil servants, the Financial Times reported, citing government procurement tracker Tussell. Under the arrangement, the firms will train officials across various skills areas, including AI, between 2026 and 2028. KPMG's share is capped at £319 million, representing almost a quarter of its total UK advisory net sales from last year. EY's portion is worth £137 million, equivalent to around 13% of its UK consulting revenue. The deal is the largest single contract awarded to Big Four companies since Tussell started tracking records in 2012. The previous record was a £322 million deal between the Foreign Office and PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2012.

KPMG barred from Victoria government tenders until October over confidential document misuse

KPMG has been barred from bidding for new government contracts in Victoria, Australia, until at least October, according to the Australian Financial Review. The Big Four firm must also withdraw from current tender negotiations following misconduct involving confidential client documents. The ban stems from KPMG's admission that former chief operating officer Eileen Hoggett improperly stored and shared confidential Lendlease board papers. Victoria joins other Australian jurisdictions, including the Federal Government and several states, in blocking KPMG from tender processes until 30 September. KPMG currently holds Victorian contracts worth A$24 million and participates in broader consortia valued at A$195 million. The firm is implementing job cuts and has already reduced partner pay by 20%. John Sams recently became Australia CEO after Andrew Yates resigned in May.

KPMG becomes OpenAI Elite Partner after building AI supply chain platform for the frontier lab

KPMG has been named an OpenAI Elite Partner following a collaboration in which KPMG built an internal supply chain platform for OpenAI itself. That deployment now serves as the foundation for KPMG's enterprise AI offerings. The partnership centres on "headless" software, where employees stop navigating applications and instead describe what they want done. AI agents interpret requests, coordinate across backend systems, and execute tasks. "You're going to be talking more than you're typing," said Chad Seiler, KPMG's US industry leader for technology, media and telecommunications. The model keeps existing enterprise systems as infrastructure whilst adding an intelligent agent layer on top. KPMG maintains parallel partnerships with other frontier labs, including Anthropic. The firm has integrated OpenAI capabilities into its internal AI tool since 2023.
