Accountancy firms defended the behavior of their staff. "We disagree with the committee's claims that there is a lack of clarity over where we draw the line between acceptable tax planning and aggressive tax avoidance," said Bill Dodwell, head of tax policy at Deloitte. "We have a significant role in helping our clients understand the law and meet their vital compliance obligations." Kevin Nicholson, head of tax at PwC, said the company's staff "operate under a clear code of conduct" and professional guidelines. "We strongly disagree with the (committee's) conclusions about the role of large accountancy firms which seem to be based on a misunderstanding both of what we do and how we do it," he said.
