EY sacked two recent graduates on Monday, 29 June 2026, after an internal review discovered they accessed Commonwealth Bank account details belonging to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese illegally. The account is kept at the bank’s Melbourne branch. EY said the conduct contravened its security policy and it took swift action.
The graduates could face disciplinary measures and police investigation. EY said it will enhance access controls and cooperate with authorities. Australian media outlets including ABC and The Guardian reported the dismissals. No further information was released.
