PwC Australia fired eight partners, including ex-CEO Tom Seymour, after an investigation into the leak of Australian government's confidential tax plans by an ex-partner. Three partners were singled out for actions that failed to meet their responsibilities, PwC said. The other five were removed because of failures to prevent the actions or hold others accountable for their behaviours, it added.
