Small firms are at risk of disclosing their financial statements to unauthorised parties due to a lack of IT security, KPMG says. A global study carried out by KPMG found 87 per cent of those firms surveyed had suffered security breaches in the past year.

According to KPMG, small businesses could be at risk of disclosing financial information such as balance sheets and profit and loss accounts to parties outside their company. "Many businesses are failing to determine the level of risk they are exposed to, and are unsuccessful in identifying the security weaknesses within their IT systems and management practices," KPMG says.
