While Dave Hartnett steps up to the top job in the UK, his former counterpart in the US, Mark Everson, is down in the dumps.
Everson, who was previously commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, has left his latest role at the Red Cross after having an affair with a junior member of staff, the Wall Street Journal is saying.
Hartnett and Everson were supposedly the axis on which the US and UK's close cooperation on tax avoidance hinged.
I wonder whether Hartnett will be a little too busy to send a message of support to his old chum. Apart from anything else, he's facing MPs next week for the first time in his new role.
And as Francine McKenna points out, perhaps there will be some at KPMG not entirely unhappy at the latest turn of events.
