July 9 (Reuters) - Australia's corporate regulator said on Thursday it had begun reviewing audit conduct complaints received by the Big Four accounting firms KPMG, Deloitte, EY and PwC after recent allegations of auditor misconduct at KPMG.

The review follows the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's formal investigation, launched in June, into three KPMG Australia partners over whistleblower allegations that the firm misused confidential client data to win lucrative audit contracts.
