Treasury Ends Booz Allen Contracts Over IRS Tax-Data Leak

The U.S. Treasury canceled all contracts with Booz Allen Hamilton after a former IRS contractor leaked tax information for thousands of people, including President Trump. The leak—linked to a 2024 sentencing of Charles Littlejohn—affected about 406,000 individuals, and Treasury faulted Booz Allen for inadequate data safeguards. Booz Allen Hamilton currently holds 31 contracts with Treasury totaling about $4.8 million annually and $21 million in total obligations. The firm did not comment on the action.

PwC Australia has issued a statement saying it is selling its public sector business for a symbolic sum of AU$1 in a bid to ensure such a conflict of interest could not repeat itself.
