INSULTING CONSULTING
A Senate inquiry into the behaviour of large consulting firms has found that PwC used confidential tax information to “influence the direction of negotiations to reform international tax systems”, Nine newspapers report. The report was released yesterday, 14 months after PwC personnel were found to have used government tax information in their dealings with corporate tax avoiders. Labor has called for the recommendations of the inquiry to be implemented, while the Greens (who made their own report) have said they don’t go far enough, calling for an end to political donations from large consulting firms and a five-year ban on PwC from doing government work.
