07 Informing the debate on audit quality
Delivering audits of the highest quality is core to our purpose. This commitment to quality is core to our strategy, the focus of which is to strengthen trust and transparency in our clients, the capital markets and wider society. To help our member firms put this strategy into effect, the PwC network has established clear objectives around audit quality that they must strive to meet, as well as various forms of support.
08 Organisation and structure
Being open about how the PwC network is organised and governed, and the high standards that we expect all PwC firms to follow, is important to us.
