PwC Australia will appoint outsiders to its board and publish audited financial statements as part of a governance overhaul to bring the partnership closer to public company standards following a scandal over the leak of confidential tax documents.

Embattled consulting giant PwC will today announce a major overhaul of governance, culture and accountability when it releases a long-awaited independent review into a tax leak scandal that has badly damaged the firm's reputation.

PwC Australia is implementing significant governance reforms in the wake of a scandal involving the leak of confidential tax documents.

Former Telstra chief Ziggy Switkowski has unveiled a review of PwC in the wake of the tax leaks scandal, but it's unlikely this is the end of an intense probe of its business and the way other consulting firms manage conflicts of interest,

A parliamentary inquiry has raised questions about whether PwC Global notified the US audit regulator of an investigation by Australia’s Tax Practitioner’s Board into the leaks scandal.

Former personnel say they have not been given the opportunity to challenge any unflattering or critical assertions that might be in Ziggy Switkowski’s findings.
