Financial statement audit

The PwC audit

For when trust matters

Audit quality is our top priority. That’s what drives the PwC audit today and it’s how we’re moving the financial statement audit into the future. Blending an agile and streamlined approach, leading audit technology, innovative thinking and industry knowledge, we design, build and implement an evolved financial statement audit with the power to build trust in a changing world.

Greater audit efficiency = less time and stress for your team

Agile. Streamlined. Effective. Less burdensome. That’s the PwC audit and our commitment to you. Powerful tech, custom automations, delivery centers and deep audit experience can help us streamline testing and focus on complex areas.

Audit insights that spark new ways of thinking

Our Audit and Assurance practice brings holistic, seamless, coordinated perspectives — through and beyond the audit — covering your key priorities. That means unique audit leadership and access to specialists (when permissible) in areas including, but not limited to, ESG, human capital, cybersecurity, cloud, AI, valuation, and tax.

Fostering relationships to transform the client experience

Our audit teams create authentic professional relationships through genuine interactions, impactful communication, issues-resolution skills and balanced perspectives. Our people are technical leaders, digitally upskilled specialists in your industry who are ready to deliver independent assurance across financial and emerging nonfinancial dimensions.

A continued commitment to audit quality

Audit quality is foundational to establishing trust in the capital markets. Quality is our number one priority, and it’s reflected in our audit quality results - including our most recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s (PCAOB) inspection report.* While we are proud to lead our profession based on our record of audit quality over the past few years, we are continuously seeking to improve and take meaningful actions to further enhance our culture of quality, transparency, integrity and independence.

And we continue to take action as a first mover, proactively leading the audit profession across five focus areas that can further enhance confidence and trust in the independent audit.
