In fact, would be stupid to invest in any business: PwC would be precluded from doing any work to the business itself and probably would not be welcomed by the business' competitors!!!!Do not believe in whatever someone post on the Internet !!! What a nonsense!!!!

Donations to UNHCR being equated to corruption… well that would suppose that the UNHCR could get you leverage which seems like a poor way to go about it.

Also if you look at the donations document referred to there are entries from many, many PwC territories – France, Switzerland, Australia etc. – if you think there is any way that these organizations would be acting in concert for any purpose, not to mention something shady, you have a very naive view of how these companies operate – they keep very strictly to themselves and hardly operate in unison on any matter.

Having said that, the author is drawing a dotted line between donations and shareholdings. Given what we know about the nature of corruption, that should not be a surprise.
