Building trust through financial reporting and audit quality
PwC’s audit work on financial reporting is at the heart of our purpose to build trust in society.
Quality audits are a critical component of a trusted and well-functioning capital market. They provide trust in the financial reporting supply chain.
Over the past few years stakeholder expectations of an audit have been shifting rapidly both in New Zealand and overseas. One thing is clear, audits of the future need to be different to better serve the interests of investors and the community more broadly.
We recognise the role we have to play in maintaining confidence and trust in audit and acknowledge there is more to be done. We are committed to continually improving standards to meet the increasing complexity of businesses, regulatory and governance requirements.
To help build trust, we continue to invest in the following aspects of our audit and assurance business:
We look forward to working further with the entities we audit and their shareholders, our industry peers, regulators, the investor community, our staff and corporate New Zealand to drive outcomes that are beneficial for all.
