EY dismissed 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 without permission. The account is held at the bank’s Melbourne branch. EY said the conduct contravened its security policy and it acted immediately.
The graduates may confront 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 documented the terminations. No additional details were provided.
