Fresh evidence from the ATO raises further questions about what the Carlton boss knew about tax confidentiality breaches while he was in charge of PwC.
The final report of a Senate inquiry into consulting services has raised further questions about what Carlton president Luke Sayers knew about the tax confidentiality breaches that occurred while he was in charge at PwC.
“What we do know is that Luke Sayers was warned by a senior tax officer to take action over serious misdemeanours involving PwC staff allegedly knowingly misleading government institutions,” she told this masthead.“Those who led PwC through years of ethical failure have – so far — walked away with large rewards, saying they knew nothing and taking no responsibility,” she said in the report.
These emails related to seven specific areas of concern, including “breaching the confidentiality of a Treasury consultation process and the apparent commercialisation of that breach”, the ATO said in response to questions on notice from Pocock. “We’ve been running our inquiry for well over a year now, and one week before our final report comes out, the ATO lets us in on what could be new damning allegations about bad behaviour at PwC,” she said.In October last year, Sayers appeared before a Senate inquiry claiming that he knew nothing of the scandal until after he had left PwC.
