Many of the STH volunteers may also work for PwC. They employ over 22,000 in the UK, so feasible that some of their consultants used for this engagement may also be STH at various clubs, Tigers included.jgriffin wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 2:57 pmOr like Tigers could have done, they could convene the STH volunteers from the clubs (I suspect they could've just used Tigers STHs)who have real and appropriate legal, medical, logistics, organisational and managerial expertise and had a working group formed from them who would work with insight and alacrity to sort things out faster than PWC can delegate to a bunch of witless and exhorbitantly expensive juniors.
I doubt that all of their consultants are "witless" and their juniors are unlikely to be "expensive".
PwC are a global firm, and work closely with the government and NHS along with a plethora of private organisations. If they can assist with the return of the game we love in a form that we want, i.e. not behind closed doors, sooner rather than later, it may be a worthwhile investment.

Yep they have a great record. One of the many:

Yet their 2020 audit clients include Goldman Sachs, IBM, Dell, Caterpillar and Walt Disney. Plenty of shareholders went after auditors following the various banking scandals at the end of the last decade. A lot of the audit firms chose to settle out of court rather than argue their case in front or a jury who would have to be educated about international auditing standards during the case (far easier to argue to prosecute than explain why technically you were right). For the case you mention it was settled out of court last year for 335m not the 5.5bn demanded.
PwC are the world's biggest financial services firm. You don't get there by accident. PRL want the services because at a time like this you don't want to be accused of not taking appropriate steps.
