Former CEO Luke Sayers says ‘Project Kookaburra’ sought to sell off consultancy business amid concerns about conflicts of interests

Former PwC Australia chief executive Luke Sayers told a Senate inquiry that he had flown to New York to discuss the proposal with the firm’s global chairman Robert Moritz, but it was not deemed ‘pragmatic’.Former PwC Australia chief executive Luke Sayers told a Senate inquiry that he had flown to New York to discuss the proposal with the firm’s global chairman Robert Moritz, but it was not deemed ‘pragmatic’.

“In the final two years of my tenure, I strove to mitigate the risks associated with that and deliver fundamental structural reform.
