not so.
The company records clearly record what the dispute was about(the indifferent recording of options on the books)
In the corporate world it's all about retaining the high ground, keeping the faith so to speak.
As the announcement clearly said the auditors resigned(just days after the RCPS decision).
I believe to keep the faith BRL would have said they terminated the contract here if they did.
IMHO looks a clear case of PWC distancing themselves from what we already know was a very contentious decision.
@moosie....don't expect IJ to admit the resignation of PWC was a big deal......as he already considers the recent event (RCPS conversion) that crashed the SP by 35% to be a small non materiel event.
