EY terminated 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 without permission. The account is maintained at the bank’s Melbourne branch. EY said the conduct violated its security policy and it acted immediately.
The graduates could face formal sanctions and police investigation. EY said it will strengthen access controls and cooperate with authorities. Australian media outlets including ABC and The Guardian documented the dismissals. No further information was released.
