flag U.S. firms KPMG, EY, and Bain face scrutiny for potential U.S. sanctions violations in China via work with sanctioned Russian entities.

flag Western consulting firms KPMG, Bain & Co, and EY are using workarounds in China that may violate U.S. sanctions on Russia, including KPMG’s $400,000 project for sanctioned Russian bank Sberbank and EY’s use of a Chinese intermediary for state-owned client work. flag Bain pitched a similar Sberbank project but did not win. flag These actions occur amid tighter Chinese regulations and data-security laws, raising compliance risks under U.S. sanctions that prohibit material support to sanctioned entities, even indirectly. flag Firms claim adherence to laws, but legal experts warn of significant penalties for secondary sanctions violations.
