    Goals / Remit

    PwC firms provide industry-focused assurance, tax and advisory services in the public and private sector. We have extensive experience working with government bodies throughout the European Union and beyond, on a wide range of subjects, such as integrated reporting, sustainability and climate change, corporate governance, employment, marcro-economics, healthcare, technology, and media. Please visit www.pwc.com for more information.

    Main EU files targeted

    The PwC EU Regulatory and Public Affairs office coordinates the network of Regulatory & Policy Leaders in the EU member states with regard to (proposed or adopted) EU legislation in the area of EU Audit Legislation, Corporate Reporting, Corporate Governance and Taxation, and other issues impacting member firms of PwCIL. By way of example, in recent years, the representational activities of PwCIL have largely focused on aspects of EU Audit legislation and its implementation across the EU member states and EU tax policy. Our principal concern with regard to EU audit legislation was and is to ensure that the legislation would help enhance the quality of audits and financial reporting for the benefit of the capital markets both within the EU and around the world.
    Forward looking, we continue to reflect on the future role of the audit, financial reporting, tax, corporate governance, and areas that would assist the EC objective of fostering jobs and growth.

    Complementary Information

    The EU Regulatory & Public affairs office of PwC coordinates the network of Regulatory & Policy Leaders in the EU member states with regard to proposed or adopted EU legislation on matters of direct concern to the PwC network and our business model (the multi-competency firm), such as EU Audit legislation, financial reporting, tax and corporate governance. It is estimated that each of these Regulatory leaders spends less than 10% of their time on representation of PwC's interests to the European Commission and the European Parliament. In addition, a number of PwC experts participate in formal advisory groups (see above for details) and informal policy discussions, some of which are facilitated by particular individuals having accredited access to the European Parliament (see below for details).
