Assurance

Audit and assurance are among our firm’s main activities. The benefit of an audit of financial statements is that it provides assurance to stakeholders – shareholders, CEOs, creditors, customers, suppliers, tax inspectors, and potential investors – that management has presented a “true and fair” view of a company’s financial performance and position. Digitisation is also making strides in the audit profession. At PwC, we strive to serve our clients using innovative, state-of-the-art tools and methodologies, while at the same time providing reliable services our clients can depend on in their day-to-day operations.
