Financial statement audit services

PwC is reimagining the audit experience through a blend of people and technology.
The Halo platform helps us inspect your data up and down the balance sheet and income statement uncovering the risks that matter most.
Your data is streamlined and securely retrieved using our extract platform.
From there, Halo takes over to analyse huge volumes of business-critical data.
It brings your data to life as graphic visualisations that go beyond numbers on a page to create powerful dashboards that enable risk assessment, automation and analysis by our audit teams.
Providing greater visibility into any transaction and allowing us to automatically find evidence from different data sources to analyse your transactions.
Halo also helps analyse journal entries to reveal unusual relationships and patterns, and it supports investment valuation from risk assessment through to substantive testing using third-party data sources.
Together the Halo family of tools helps focus testing and unlock new insights related to critical audit areas.

PwC is reimagining the audit through a blend of people and technology.
It begins by unlocking the power of your data thanks to the suite of tools in the Extract family.
You get an audit that's more strategic and more precise.
By connecting to your systems, whether standard ERP or homegrown, our Extract platform seamlessly and securely ingests volumes of your data without disrupting your ongoing operations and largely eliminating the need for repeated one-off requests.
Enabling smarter risk assessments and rapid anomaly detection by allowing us to analyse whole data sets.
Powered by AI and process automation, the Extract platform can ingest unstructured data - transforming it into structured information that is easily used by our technology for the audit.
From there, we thoroughly assess your data to analyse transactions and entries and enhance risk assessment.
Extract, part of our audit technology suite that supports remote working, helps accelerate the start of your connected audit journey, enabling rigorous audit execution and more insights from your data.

PwC's Next Generation Audit is human led, powered by technology and fueled by data.
NGA will transform the audit experience for our people and clients promoting and enhancing audit quality while enabling the delivery of trust in what matters.
Our Next Generation Audit technology platform will deploy a variety of capabilities with benefits that are important to you as our client.
Let's take a deeper look into the Confirmation capability, a standalone platform accelerator.
Our Next Generation Confirmations capability is a secure web-based solution that makes the sending, receipt, and analysis of external confirmations easier and more efficient.
This solution automates the matching of confirmation responses to accounting records using various capabilities.
It works across different confirmation types from portal, to paper, to facts, to email.
We're investing in our confirmations process because it provides a number of significant benefits to your people and our people.
Streamlining the confirmation process thereby driving productivity.
Providing direct and complete coordination of confirmations from within the tool reducing email traffic and improving user experience, automating elements of address verification testing, increasing efficiency and encouraging the timely review of confirmations, expediting turnaround times.
Our Confirmation solution accomplishes all of these benefits through intuitive guided user experiences around the preparation, sending, monitoring and receiving of both electronic and paper responses.
This includes automated notifications to ensure that your people, our people and third-party confirmers perform the right tasks at the right time.
The tool also includes a library of standardised confirmation templates that can be tailored to client specific circumstances.
Audit teams can automatically extract and document information as confirmations are received using embedded, Microsoft document-reading technology.
Customisable configurations are available to meet territory-specific requirements including language transformation capabilities.
And finally, an integrated portal allows confirmers to easily navigate documents, provide responses, delegate responsibilities and provide feedback on their experience.
We believe that our next generation of Confirmation solution is the most advanced of its type on the market and the best part is it's available now globally.
