PwC's approach to your pension strategy centres around a human-led but tech-enabled approach, to reduce compliance burdens, enabling you to focus your time and energy on addressing the strategic issues facing your businesses. We have a suite of new technologies across our network of firms, to help drive efficiencies and allow you to understand data and information in a more natural and visually accessible way.
Our Consolidate tool does just that. At PwC, we know that companies need to include liabilities for all their employee benefit plans in their annual financial statements and often more frequently. For multinationals, this can be a big challenge, as it means data collection, liability calculation and decision-making for different types of plans and different jurisdictions. Our Consolidate tool makes this process seamless, producing accurate figures whether you have one employee benefit plan or hundreds.
Whilst consolidating your global pensions numbers for financial reporting can be a challenge, it also presents an opportunity.
