Transparency Report 2022 - Human-led, tech-powered transcript

We live and operate in a complex world where trust has never been more important.

The PwC audit delivers trust through high quality assurance.

Our approach is human led and tech powered, bringing together the industry knowledge and expertise of our auditors with advanced technology.

Technology is ingrained at every single step of the way, from risk assessment analytics in planning to the use of artificial intelligence, data auditing and visualisation techniques in our testing.

Our integrated global audit platform supports effective project management, providing transparency and real time communication with the organisations we audit.

Our audits today allow us to extract and analyse large volumes of data, transforming the way we can audit revenue with analytics and transactional population testing that can deliver up to 100% coverage.

We’re also using drones in the assessment of mining valuations and validating the existence of fixed assets and inventory in harder to reach locations.

Our people learn their skills through Digital Academies and some become Digital Accelerators, experts in our tools and technology. All our teams are empowered to innovate and develop certified digital solutions which enhance quality. They develop and share bots, create automated workflows and utilise new data visualisations - all as part of their everyday audit work.

We’re continuing to invest in technology for the future that empowers our people, and complements the skills and expertise they bring.
