PwC Australia acting CEO to face state parliament over tax-leak scandal

Australian lawmakers will ask for more details about PwC staff involved in the leak of government tax plans when acting head Kristin Stubbins appears
before a state parliament on Monday, her first public appearance since her predecessor stepped down over the scandal.
Stubbins, who could not be immediately reached for comment, faces a New South Wales (NSW) state parliamentary inquiry a day after the firm announced plans to sell its government consulting business and a further leadership shakeup as it responds to a scandal that has frozen work with some of Australia’s major public and private sector clients.
But there were still many unanswered questions, inquiry chair and Greens party lawmaker Abigail Boyd said on Sunday.
She said she would ask Stubbins how widely confidential data was shared and whether PwC’s assurance those implicated were off government work can be trusted when the firm has not publicly named any staff or clients.
