KPMG has launched a fresh round of job cuts in its UK business amid a slowdown in dealmaking.

The financial services and auditing giant said it will reduce roles and freeze pay in its deal advisory business.

It is understood the move, which was first reported by the Financial Times, will affect about 110 people, or almost 7 per cent of the company’s nearly 1,700-strong UK deal advisory division.

Last month, KMPG launched a separate consultation process over plans to axe up to 125 jobs in its consulting business.
