Transforming the audit experience

As active listeners, we grasp the messages conveyed by people and information. We hear loud and clear: greater transparency and trust is needed. PwC’s 2024 Trust Survey found that 93% of business executives agree that building and maintaining trust improves the bottom line. Our evolving approach to audit, leveraging an AI-first technology strategy, will allow us to adapt with this need, powering greater insight and transparency as you look to build trust to protect what matters to your business and your stakeholders.

Rooted in PwC’s rigorous risk and governance standards, our human-led, tech-powered approach combines expertise, extensive industry knowledge, technology, and attentive listening to foster more impactful conversations between our teams and clients, grounded in data. Deeper data-driven process intelligence and the latest AI technologies allow us to comprehend the data like never before and better understand its insights as we execute our audit - enhancing audit quality and providing you with peace of mind. We empower you with a big-picture perspective, making today's complex audits more manageable, productive, and impactful.

With transparent and effortless data integration, tailored to fit your organisation's digital capabilities, we reduce the overall audit burden by streamlining, standardising, and automating processes, allowing continued focus on areas of higher risk. Our goal is to provide you with a quality audit that helps you build trust to protect your business.

PwC is proud to be recognised for innovation in audit technology.

An elevated audit experience, supercharged by AI

PwC’s proprietary architecture brings a single, secure, and integrated connection, unlocking a new level of visibility and enhancing coordination across our global teams - all while respecting sovereignty, regulatory, and privacy safeguards.

Experience faster and easier data extraction and transformation with fewer requests of your team. Made possible by our AI-enabled data acquisition enhancements, these capabilities will also allow for more precise risk assessment through AI generated anomaly detection in full populations of data.

Our human-led, tech-powered and data fuelled approach to anomaly detection will form part of a powerful, dynamic, and data driven risk assessment that reacts in real time to your evolving risks, enhancing audit quality, communication, and identification and discussion of those areas most important to you.

With access to a data set of unmatched size and depth, our platform will enable us to listen to the data and perform comprehensive benchmarking and analysis of the factors that impact key aspects of your business, empowering your audit team to have richer, deeper, and earlier conversations with you in understanding important changes in your business and in our risk assessment.

“AI has the power to completely transform the way we deliver audits, simultaneously enhancing our people’s skills and experiences, augmenting their judgements, and allowing for even greater focus on critical audit areas. We aim to provide even greater trust in the capital markets while delivering enhanced quality and value to our clients, as they look to build trust in a changing world.”
