Yes there typically is a policy. You can’t work any job that would take away from your time/ability to fully serve your clients... (e.g you can’t bar tend every night because it’s too much time commitment and it’s taking you away from your full ability to serve your clients)

No

KPMG forbids you to

If I had to guess, you can’t work for attest clients and competitors
