EY sacked two recent graduates on Monday, 29 June 2026, after an internal review determined they accessed Commonwealth Bank account details belonging to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese without permission. The account is kept at the bank’s Melbourne branch. EY said the conduct violated its security policy and it acted immediately.
The graduates are likely to encounter disciplinary measures and police investigation. EY said it will strengthen access controls and coordinate with law‑enforcement. Australian media outlets including ABC and The Guardian reported the terminations. No more data has been made public.
