Lawyers for Insolvency Service likely to allege that KPMG did not examine Carillion’s accounts properly
The government liquidator dealing with the fallout from the collapse of outsourcing firm Carillion is expected to make a claim for £250m against KPMG, the accounting firm that signed off on the former FTSE100 company’s accounts.
Lawyers for the official receiver, part of the government’s Insolvency Service, have sent a letter before action to KPMG, warning the accounting and consultancy firm to expect a claim related to Carillion’s rapid implosion in 2018.
