Margaret Hodge, chairman of the House of Commons public accounts committee, told specialists from PwC, Deloitte, Ernst & Young and KPMG that their skills ought to be directed to nobler ends than minimising tax bills for big business.“What really depresses me is you could contribute so much to society and the public good and you all choose to focus on working in an area which reduces the available resources for us to build schools, hospitals, infrastructure,” she said.

What Do We Make of the Headcount in Deloitte’s Los Angeles Office?
Our tipster had this to say, “No wonder they are getting rid of PSW [Ed. note: he/she is referring to this], there are more partners than junior staff! Where the hell is the leverage model? This is beyond completely ridiculous.”
Posted on the Green Dot’s internal interwebs:
Did you know?
The Los Angeles office represents 55% of the PSW region in terms of headcount:
Los Angeles Headcount Partners, Principals, and Directors 195 Sr. Managers and Managers 407 Senior/Senior Consultants 304 Staff Consultants 188 Junior Staff/Analysts 141 Client Service, Admin, and Other Support 271 TOTAL 1506
Technically, the combination of “Staff Consultants” and “Junior Staff” exceeds the PPD number although that but that puts the ratio of 1.69 staff for every PPD. I’m no expert but that could be considered low. It’s safe to say there are a few big engagements in L.A. that demand more than 1.69 staff people which probably leaves the small jobs shorthanded. Anyone in Deloitte L.A. (or anywhere else for that matter) feeling the pain because of this? Let us know in the comments.
