EY sacked two recent graduates on Monday, 29 June 2026, after an internal review found they accessed Commonwealth Bank account details belonging to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese illegally. The account is held at the bank’s Melbourne branch. EY said the conduct breached its security policy and it responded at once.
The graduates are likely to encounter internal penalties and law‑enforcement inquiry. EY said it will tighten access controls and coordinate with law‑enforcement. Australian media outlets including ABC and The Guardian reported the dismissals. No more data has been made public.
