Sayers, Seymour round on Burrowes’ global role

Former PwC chief executives Luke Sayers and Tom Seymour have rounded on Kevin Burrowes’ secretive arrangement with PwC International, telling a parliamentary committee the undisclosed dual roles went against the firm’s ethos and would be perceived as a conflict by partners.

It emerged earlier this year that Mr Burrowes is being paid $1.2 million per year by PwC International while chief executive of the Australian firm, a fact that was not initially disclosed to the Senate when Mr Burrowes was asked about his salary in February.
