Let's talk about how PwC's Audit and Assurance services can create an experience that’s uniquely yours.

Audit execution: efficient, customized, and secure

AI, automation, and analytics power every stage of your audit to enhance quality and reduce unnecessary burden on your team. It all starts with secure, seamless data acquisition that connects directly with your systems, enabling faster analysis and better coordination.

Through our alliances with Microsoft and OpenAI, we embed generative AI and intelligent agents into the audit—analyzing full data populations, automating complex tasks, and maintaining transparency throughout. This isn't spreadsheets dressed up as innovation. Our technology is enterprise-grade, human-led, and relevant to your industry, delivering a better experience from start to finish.

And while technology transforms our capabilities, people remain central to the audit. Our professionals bring deep technical, industry, and accounting experience—supported by hands-on AI training, ongoing upskilling, and coaching in real-world scenarios to uphold quality standards.

“Behind every audit is a focus on delivering quality while enhancing the client experience. By automating routine audit procedures, and continually advancing our technology, we tip the scales to give you value back—reducing unnecessary burden on your business and bringing forward meaningful audit insights.”

Shawn Panson,PwC US Assurance Transformation Leader

How your audit experience improves with our technology

Smarter planning

AI analyzes prior-year audit history and current requirements to highlight what’s changed.

That means you spend less time re-explaining processes and have more meaningful conversations about new risks or priorities.

AI-powered walkthroughs

Our automated documentation and dynamic guides capture processes, build flowcharts, and provide a clear view of control design—helping you see progress as it happens.

You benefit from a quicker feedback loop and fewer back-and-forth requests for your team.

Real-time validation of evidence

Your documents are reviewed as they’re provided, with potential mismatches or gaps identified faster.

You gain earlier visibility into where things stand and help avoid last-minute requests.

Full population analysis

Our advanced analytic models review full population data to help identify patterns and outliers that may warrant closer review.

From this analysis, you understand potential risks earlier and get a clear view of our assessment of the evidence that supports our audit judgments.

Automated data transformation

Your data is extracted, standardized, and transformed when received, then published for consistent use across our applications.

This process means your engagement team has less manual intervention and enables the same reliable data to flow through every stage of the audit.

On-demand audit research

A Microsoft Teams-based chatbot gives our professionals quick access to PwC’s audit methodology, relevant standards, and industry resources.

That means your PwC audit team can find trusted answers faster—enabling more informed decisions and clearer discussions about what matters to your financial reporting.
