After a tumultuous year steadying the ship, KPMG South Africa's chief executive officer, Nhlamulo Dlomu, will be moving on to a new global role focusing on organisational culture change and ethical leadership.

She will work with Bill Thomas, KPMG’s global chairman, and the global management team in executing on the firm’s global strategic priorities.

Given the scale of the reputational challenges facing both KPMG and the industry, the board has decided that a new chief executive from outside the firm, with strong industry experience, will optimise prospects of rebuilding trust. A search to identify a successor is well advanced. In the interim, Professor Wiseman Nkuhlu will serve as executive chairman.

“It has been a huge privilege to lead KPMG this past year. Although it has been challenging, we have managed to stabilise the business. This would not have been achieved without the loyalty of our clients, the commitment of KPMG partners and staff, as well as the invaluable input of the business community, civil society and the larger South African public. I look forward to sharing the South African experience with the global body of KPMG, and I’m pleased to be able to continue to support the firm during the transition, Dlomu says.
