Job description and summary
PricewaterhouseCoopers General Overview:
With offices in 155 countries and more than 284,000 people, we are among the world’s leading professional service networks. We help organizations and individuals create the value they are looking for, by providing quality assurance, tax and advisory services.
PwC Middle East Overview:
Established in the region for 40 years, PwC has more than 6,100 people in 12 countries across the region: Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Oman, Palestinian Territories, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Our regional team works throughout the Middle East to provide international expertise delivered in the context and culture of the region. We can bring the collective knowledge and experience of more than 276,000 people across PwC’s entire global network in advisory, insurance and taxation to help you find the value you’re looking for.
Creating value that makes a real difference to a customer’s business is central to a PwC audit. Quality audits that bring unexpected and far-reaching benefits do not come from an unthinking compliance mindset but from a knowledgeable, questioning, imaginative and insightful approach.
The foundation of our service is the natural blend of compliance and value. We are experts in applying audit methodology and audit techniques and use our expertise to achieve accuracy and economy in our clients’ audits. We use our knowledge of each client, along with our position as a trusted advisor, to match our approach and solutions to their needs.
Our vision for our clients’ organizations is broad and deep, and we look behind the numbers to think about what they mean to the company as a whole. We use the review to explore and think more broadly about our clients’ business, and the potential issues they face.
This understanding enables us to offer new solutions to our customers’ problems, to help them learn from what happened and prepare for them, or better yet, help them avoid problems in the future.
