KPMG is in deep trouble after being banned from federal contracts until September, amid a 1% revenue drop to $2.5 billion and a brutal 17% plunge in consulting revenue.

The firm’s cutting 5% of its workforce—about 360 employees—to weather the storm, following a scandal involving contract-bid espionage and whistleblower abuse. Multiple internal and external reviews are underway, and several states have paused deals with KPMG, which still holds $653 million in active federal contracts.
