PwC – the way we work  Jobs are not completed in isolation – we consult (horizontally across our teams and departments, and vertically across our grades) on a regular basis  The majority of our staff are accountants by profession, however this does not mean they all do the same job. Our people have a range varying specialisations (industry knowledge, technical knowledge etc.) – we often need to tap into a number of our peoples’ knowledge in order to achieve the best results possible for our clients  We recognise that no man is an island – we can’t expect one person to have all the answers PwC 4

PwC – the way we work, continued  Communication is key – we encourage our people to build relationships across the firm and to communicate effectively for the collaboration process to run as smoothly as possible  The Partner signs the final ‘product’, however very often this is based on recommendations from the wider team  Our people are encouraged to have an opinion right from ‘day one’ – they are employed to contribute and add value to the team and our clients PwC 5
