PwC member firms are part of the global network of PricewaterhouseCoopers firms, which enables them to provide services both locally and internationally – to large multinational corporations as well as smaller local businesses.
PricewaterhouseCoopers SIA is a private limited company, with 99.997% of its shares owned by PricewaterhouseCoopers Konyvvizsgalo Kft., registered in Hungary.
Across the world, PwC member firms are managed by local professionals, ensuring in-depth knowledge of local markets and accountability for operations within those markets. The role of PwC’s Board is to foster collaboration among different PwC divisions and to ensure that PwC values, risk and quality management standards, and ethical requirements are upheld in everyday work.
PwC’s Board is composed of partners and directors who represent the interests of each PwC division. All Board members have equal rights and may individually represent PwC in dealings with third parties. It is important to emphasise that, in client relationships, decision-making involves not only PwC’s Board but also the professionals working in the specific engagement team, who best understand the client’s needs and priorities.
