Murdoch has over 37 years of chartered accountancy experience, and for the last eight years headed the corporate finance team for Ernst & Young Queensland. He has been the Ernst & Young transaction advisory services Brisbane leader since April 2004, including leading the engagement team in the recent $3 billion sale of Queensland Motorways and Golden Casket.
