Cape Town - In case you missed it, here is a roundup of Monday’s top 4 reads on Fin24:

Moyane wants KPMG blacklisted

Following Friday's bombshell announcement by KPMG SA that it was withdrawing parts of its controversial "rogue unit" report, all eyes were on SARS Commissioner Tom Moyane on Monday when he briefed the media.   

Catch up with all the news as it happened, by reading Fin24's live coverage of the briefing here.

Moyane laid into the audit firm, saying that its conduct in withdrawing the report was “aberrant and unethical”. 

Parliament’s standing committee on public accounts (Scopa) said on Monday it would call KPMG SA to appear before Parliament to account for its conduct regarding the rogue unit report.

Former Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, meanwhile, accused SARS of becoming a "political project". 

Competition Commission refuses to release rand probe records

The Competition Commission on Monday declined the Standard Bank Group's request to release details of its investigation into currency manipulation.

The refusal is the latest chapter in a saga that started in May 2015, when the commission alleged that firms including JPMorgan Chase & Co, BNP Paribas and Standard Chartered colluded to rig the value of the rand.

Bell Pottinger, KPMG and now McKinsey? 

The Democratic Alliance is set to lodge fraud, racketeering and collusion charges against McKinsey after the US global consultancy firm was implicated in the Eskom corruption scandal. 

McKinsey, along with UK PR firm Bell Pottinger, international audit firm KPMG and Germany's SAP, have been drawn into the Gupta saga and allegations of state capture, as information continues to emerge showing what is claimed to be unethical behaviour in work done for businesses linked to the Gupta family.

#GuptaLeaks : another Transnet Gupta kickback?

An investigative report by amaBhungane and Scorpio published Monday uncovered another apparent kickback on the saga of the Guptas and Transnet.
