At PwC, we believe the audit should deliver more than an audit opinion—it should deliver an experience that’s uniquely yours. For clients and stakeholders, that means earlier audit insights, fewer disruptions, and greater transparency at each stage of the process.
Delivering that experience matters now more than ever. Regulations are evolving, global markets remain uncertain, and AI is helping reshape how businesses operate. Amid this change, the auditor should go beyond the numbers. The audit can provide deep insights to clients, so they can determine what comes next. That's why we take a human-led, tech-powered approach. People bring the judgment, skepticism, and curiosity that matter most. Technology amplifies their impact—highlighting risks sooner, streamlining evidence review, and enabling richer conversations. Responsible AI practices and guardrails are built in at every step, with professionals directing, supervising, and reviewing the work.
We’re investing in the next generation of audit—a global effort to help unify our people, tools and methodologies across PwC. This is fundamentally changing how our audits are conducted while enhancing the overall experience for our clients. These investments are already reshaping the experience by bringing risks into focus earlier, reducing disruptions through more seamless collaboration, and creating greater consistency across borders, industries, and reporting standards.
We're excited to share how this transformation is taking shape—from smarter planning and dynamic walkthroughs to earlier issue spotting, more connected collaboration, and responsible use of AI. Together, these advances are helping enhance audit quality while making the experience more transparent, more efficient, and more meaningful for those we serve.
The audit continues to anchor confidence in financial reporting—and it’s evolving into an experience that can deliver more enriched outcomes and strengthen governance and oversight.
Leading a business in today’s environment can be demanding. Risks emerge quickly. Information moves constantly. Every decision matters. That’s why we’re reshaping the audit experience, bringing together secure advanced technology and the critical thinking of our professionals.
Technology can help us spot potential issues earlier and ease the burden of repetitive tasks. But it’s people who make sense of those insights. Our teams bring professional skepticism, deep industry knowledge, and the perspective that only experience can provide.
For you as a client, this means an audit that feels less disruptive and more connected—where technology reduces friction, and people bring judgment that helps build confidence.
PwC’s audit technology is purpose-built—equipping our auditors to deliver quality work while you move your business forward with confidence. Each capability is designed to improve the experience of our clients, accelerate the identification of audit insights, and reduce disruption to your business.

These capabilities are helping reshape how audits are planned, executed, and delivered—leading to greater clarity, easier coordination, and a smoother client experience.
Throughout the audit, every judgment, conclusion, and signoff is made by our professionals. At PwC, we invest heavily in upskilling our professionals to equip them with the tools and knowledge to adopt technology responsibly and effectively.
Our audit professionals average more than 90 hours of training each year, including over 50,000 total hours of AI-specific training in FY25.
