A one-year ban preventing British consultancy PwC from bidding for advisory and consulting contracts with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) has reportedly ended.

The sovereign fund had temporarily barred PwC from securing advisory and consulting contracts from its more than 100 subsidiaries until February 2026. Auditing projects were excluded from the prohibition.

PwC’s global chairman Mohamed Kande flew to Riyadh for meetings with the wealth fund after the imposition of the ban, Bloomberg news agency said, quoting unidentified sources.

The Middle East generated nearly £2 billion ($2.7 billion) in revenue for PwC in the 12 months to June 30, 2024. 

Although the reason for the ban was not officially disclosed, the UK’s Financial Times reported that PIF was irked by an attempt by PwC to poach a top auditor from one of its subsidiaries, Neom.

The consultancy opened its regional headquarters in Riyadh last month and has been supporting efforts to boost localisation.

PwC named Laura Hinton as a new senior partner to lead its regional operations with over 11,000 employees, the report said.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government. This alleged partnership was said to be in the domain of energy tokenization. The announcement generated considerable interest and discussion online. ZachXBT, known for his diligent on-chain investigations, was quick to flag the development. He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities. Her statement serves as a vital reminder to the crypto community about the official stance of government agencies concerning private ventures. Moreover, ZachXBT’s analysis…
