Corporate Travel Management Suspends Shares Following Accounting Irregularities
What happened
Corporate Travel Management voluntarily suspended its shares from the Australian Securities Exchange in August 2025 after an internal audit discovered accounting irregularities in its European operations. Management initially characterized the issue as minor, but by November, the company disclosed that its UK division had overcharged customers by approximately $162 million, including contracts with the UK government. KPMG is currently conducting a forensic audit of the company's books.
