Revenues Rise At PwC; Central, Eastern Europe Shines, Asia Is Strong

The global professional services group logged a broadly robust set of revenue figures across its regions and business segments for the year ended 30 June, 2017.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, the professional services and consultancy services covering sectors including wealth management, has reported gross revenues of $37.7 billion for the year ending 30 June, which translates to a rise of 7 per cent if exchange rates are held constant. ~

The firm’s assurance operations logged a 6 per cent rise in revenues to $16 billion, driven by new audit client wins and increasing demand for broader assurance services.

In tax and legal, revenues rose 6 per cent to $9.5 billion. PwC has more than 41,000 tax professionals.
