EY sacks grads for accessing Anthony Albanese's CBA account details

Afr • June 30, 2026

Two Ernst and Young graduate employees who were on secondment at Commonwealth Bank of Australia have been sacked and one has been charged after he allegedly used the bank’s systems to access the personal banking details of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

In March, EY welcomed a new cohort of graduates, and in the months after, dozens of junior staff, including some of the new graduates, were deployed to Australia’s largest bank to consult on its technology systems.

An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that two former EY graduate employees were charged. Only one former EY employee is facing a criminal charge.
