PwC tax scandal claims more casualties | The Business | ABC News

Consultancy firm PwC is in full damage control, with the acting chief executive Kristin Stubbins issuing an apology for the tax scandal engulfing it. The company has directed nine partners to take leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation into the leaking of confidential Australian government tax information. The firm also announced that the chairs of its governance board and designated risk committee are stepping down, with two independent non-executive directors to be appointed to the governance board. PwC will also "ringfence" its provision of services to the federal government, with a standalone executive and governance board to oversee those operations from September onwards.
