As you may know, BearingPoint is the new name of KPMG Consulting.  I
have a found an SEC press release of September 12, 2002 regarding the
settlement of a 2001 lawsuit brought by the SEC and the Department of
Justice against an affiliate of KPMG International called KPMG
Siddharta, Siddharta & Harsono.  The allegations involved bribery of
an Indonesian government tax official.
  
Here is the link to more details of the settlement:

Again, thanks for your feedback.

Since it is not clear that this action involved KPMG's consulting
operation (which just recently was renamed BearingPoint) or just its
accounting operation, I have not looked further for news articles and
am not posting this as an answer.

If this is what you are looking for, please post a comment and I will

I could not find any indication of a scandal involving KPMG Consulting
in Indonesia.

http://www.bearingpoint.com/news/press_releases/2002/pr_10-02-2002_news.html
"KPMG Consulting Is Now BearingPoint"

http://www.line56.com/articles/default.asp?ArticleID=4060
"KPMG Consulting split from the auditing brand in February of last
year ahead of accounting scandals of the type that were plaguing
Arthur Andersen..."

From the above pages, I gathered that KPMG might have managed to
escape the conflict-of-interest scandals that have plagued Arthur
Andersen. I'm guessing that KPMG Consulting just changed its name to
BearingPoint now to further distance itself from possible criticism of
any apparent conflict-of-interest between it and its former parent
KPMG.

Sorry I could not be of more assistance.

Thank you both for your help!  markj I've passed along your
information!  Great find!!!

Yes, you have answered my question.  Thank you again!
