PwC has named four former partners who appear in the emails associated with its tax leaks scandal and provided a Senate committee with the names of the nine partners put on leave last week and 63 who received at least one email related to the matter.

“In response to the Senate questions, we provided the requested names of those involved in the confidentiality breaches as well as the names of partners who were directed to go on leave pending the outcome of our investigation related to the confidentiality breaches,” Ms Stubbins wrote. Ms Stubbins emphasised that this larger group of current and former partners, which she did not name, were likely unaware that the material they were receiving was based upon confidential government tax information.“The reason for the length of this list is because an email, which did not indicate that the information it contained was confidential, was sent to two large mailing groups,” she wrote.
