KPMG could face a legal claim of up to £2bn from the liquidator of collapsed outsourcer Carillion.
Representatives of the official receiver, part of the Insolvency Service, delivered a letter before action to KPMG in June setting out the potential claim. A response from the Big Four firm is expected this month, according to people familiar with the matter.
The letter before action said the value of the negligence claim was likely to range between £250m and more than £1bn, a person familiar with the matter said.
A second person familiar with the matter said the value of the claim could range from £1bn to £2bn.

Previously it has been reported that the claim against KPMG was likely to be £250m, but a person familiar with the matter said that number represented “low hanging fruit”.
The lower figure consists of dividends the official receiver will say were wrongly paid out by Carillion in advance of its collapse because of KPMG’s negligence and advisory fees charged by KPMG, the person said.

The larger figure includes a wider range of losses incurred by Carillion which could be attributed to negligence by its auditor, they added.
The likely increased value of the claim is also attributable to an 18 June Supreme Court ruling in Manchester Building Society v Grant Thornton which expanded the scope of damages in professional negligence claims, a second person familiar with the matter said.
In that case, the Supreme Court said audit firm Grant Thornton must pay Manchester Building Society £13.4m damages after it had incorrectly advised that hedge accounting could be applied to reduce the volatility of interest rate swaps in its accounts.
Lawyers say that the judgment may expand the losses claimants are able to recover in professional negligence cases.
