Luke Sayers - PWC Scandal

[The Nostradamus]

And escaping to Europe when the heat is o PwC and Carlton in a dynamic show of leadership

 

[WillHayward]

He's an absolute prick
He should be locked up and so should his wife.
National disgrace this bloke.

 

[WillHayward]

I guess there is a distinction between should have been and was across it.

He isn't in the emails so he wasn't directly involved, the question is whether he fostered a culture that supported this kind of behavior.

10s of millions of fees aren't necessarily1 going to show up unless it's significantly above what the team would normally do in fees.

Yep.

But probably has a five minute conversation with Collins and tells him well done fella but don't include me in any corro but keep up the good work.

He would have known for sure.

 

[WillHayward]

The Senate report out yesterday shows there is absolutely zero chance Sayers wasn't aware of this.

Most likely he verbally encouraged it and made sure he wasn't included on any emails.

Kind of embarrassing that's he's playing the plausible deniability card.

Dude is fooling nobody.

 

[WillHayward]

PwC Australia engaged in a deliberate multi-year strategy to cover up the breach of confidentiality in the tax leaks scandal, as company personnel worked to monetise the information, a scathing parliament report has found.

 

[Beerfish]

Someone should be doing jail time for this.

How can Luke Sayers remain as President of Carlton in light of what has been alleged and revealed in this tax scandal at PWC and other businesses involved? Surely it’s untenable. Pressure must be mounting on him to step aside at this point?

You answered your own question in bold here.

Not going to lie, it's impossible for me to defend Sayers and his tenure as club chairman

The sooner he goes, the better, unfortunately for us, I don't want one of his fellow board members to take other either, we need fresh faces with a clean slate at board level at Carlton.

Seems a bit weird the mainstream media has not really been calling for Sayers head tbh

He's a well connected, popular guy.

The exact type of person the AFL media tend to leave alone.

It was the Sayers ‘independent’ review that’s got your club here. He had a chance to do it the right way but decided to cherry pick what he thought was wrong with the club, and ignore other areas. Too arrogant to follow the right process and got his own way through a sham review.

As much as his predecessor was a yes man to the families, at least he set up the club well from an off field financial perspective.

Sayers’ era isn’t standing for much positive at the moment.

 

[Tyberious Funk]

they should do well to remember it was once the "Big 5"

Actually, if you are old enough, you might remember it as the "Big 8"

PwC tax scam CEO quits as charity chair - The Klaxon

The man who was CEO of consultancy PwC Australia for the entire tax payments affair, Luke Sayers, has exited as chair of a charity he runs with his wife.

[Belnakor]

bunch of HUNCs to cut no doubt, the rest "retiring" and moving to the new firm.

 

[VinnieB]

you do you realize PWC has hundreds of partners and the firm is thousands of employees yeah?

He was the CEO not sitting there checking what everyone is up to. The moment he is elevated into the csuite his focus is on the firm as a whole. Tax is one of the profit centers thats it.

Yes of course, however, that doesn’t exonerate him.

We had a Royal Commission more recently which cost a banking CEO and directors their jobs based upon practices by some people in branches etc. A lot more employees and moving parts in a ‘Big 4’ bank thank a ‘Big 4’ accounting firm.

 

[WillHayward]

Sayers is the exact kind of corrupt campaigner the AFL media will leave alone and pretend he's a "good bloke".

 

[Lavender Bushranger]

Hmmm....

The group of partners said that two former PwC chief executives – Tom Seymour, who is retiring from the firm, and Luke Sayers, who now runs his own consulting group and is president of the Carlton Football Club – should be held accountable for the scandal.

If this guy is found to be as slimey as axle grease, then I want him the * away from our club and as quickly as possible !!

Will be gone end of next year anyway (which he has stated) but agree you’d want him out immediately

What's your definition of "found to be"?

It's already obvious he's an absolute disgrace.

So is his wife

Massive creeps

Even his own employees think he's a campaigner.

And he will try to claim they are all "disgruntled" but does anyone buy this s**t anymore?

 

[WillHayward]

So 12 partners knew and Sayers reckons he didn't know.

Seriously pants on fire.

Absolutely lying campaigner.

Long term Big 4 partner, it goes without saying he was slimy as axle grease tbh. Noone stays at that level without being a prick. nobody keeps selling work for that long without cutting a few corners.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Apparently he has been out of the country in the last two weeks according to a poster on the Carlton board.

Definitely something dicey or dodgy going on
