- The investigation follows serious allegations of professional misconduct and ethical breaches by PwC and its former lead auditor, Rudi Binedell, prompting a complaint from Choppies and Justice Zein Kebonang.
- The complaint centers around PwC allegedly using confidential company data to litigate and defend its interests, described by Choppies as an abuse of trust and professional overreach.

British Steel’s Chinese owners weigh attempt to recover millions in debts
- The Chinese owners of British Steel are looking to recover debts amounting to hundreds of millions of pounds following the UK government's takeover of the company.
- Jingye Group, the owner of British Steel, is assessing the chances of recovering debts owed by the company with PwC reportedly helping in the valuation process.
- The UK government took control of British Steel in April to prevent job cuts and loss of the ability to produce steel from iron ore, which would have occurred if Jingye had let blast furnaces cool.
- British Steel owes Jingye businesses £711m, with the bulk owed to Chinese subsidiaries and the remainder to Jingye's British holding company.
- Jingye is in the process of evaluating the recoverability of these debts and potential commercial settlements due to the complexity of the arrangements.
- Negotiations between Jingye and the government on debt repayment are anticipated as the debts were saved from liquidation by the government intervention.
- The government had considered wiping out the debts through legislation, an action that might face opposition as it could be seen as expropriation of privately held assets.
- Jingye is also expecting a commercial resolution regarding the ownership of British Steel, indicating a possible payment for its shareholding.
- PwC is reportedly conducting a valuation of British Steel's assets, with previous involvement in advising Jingye during the acquisition process.
- Both British Steel and PwC declined to comment on the matter.
- Jingye has been approached for comment but has not responded yet.

- Google executive Nick Fox hopes passionate employees do not opt for the buyout, mentioning ambitious plans and tasks ahead.
- However, the buyout program provides an exit path for employees not aligned with Google's strategy or facing challenges in their roles.

Big Tech Layoffs are Likely Just About Tax Savings
- Big tech companies in the US like Microsoft, IBM, PwC, and others have laid off thousands of employees, with Microsoft alone cutting 6,000 jobs.
- Some companies attribute the layoffs to AI, but analysts suggest tax savings as a major factor.
- Changes to Section 174 of the US Internal Revenue Code in 2017 have impacted companies' ability to deduct R&D expenses immediately.
- Previously, companies could offset taxable income with full R&D expenses, but now these costs must be spread over five or 15 years.
- This change led to an increase in tax bills, prompting companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon to lay off staff.
- Labour costs for employees involved in R&D now have to be amortised, affecting taxable income.
- Startups especially face challenges with the new tax rules, resulting in higher tax bills.
- Experts highlight that the tax changes incentivize companies to hire offshore, reduce R&D spending, and opt for layoffs.
- The amendment to Section 174 has made the US less competitive globally in terms of tax incentives for research and development.
- The US House of Representatives passed an act suspending the capitalisation and amortisation requirement for domestic R&D expenses, aiming to address the issue temporarily.
