TORONTO, January 19, 2009 — An independent world study conducted by World Finance, a leading global financial magazine, has recognized PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as the “Best Transfer Pricing Team in Canada” at their 2009 World Finance Awards.

“We are very proud of this distinction and the efforts made by all members of our Canadian team,” says Saul Plener, PwC Canada’s National Transfer Pricing Leader. “This award is affirmation from our clients that we deliver a distinctive experience that focuses on both their needs and opportunities.
