History The firm was created by the merger of two large firms "Price Waterhouse" and "Coopers & Lybrand". These two firms each had histories dating back to the nineteenth century.
Price Waterhouse Samuel Lowell Price, an accountant, started his practice in London in 1849.[7] In 1865 Price went into partnership with William Hopkins Holyland and Edwin Waterhouse. Holyland left shortly after to work alone in accountancy and the firm was known from 1874 as Price, Waterhouse & Co.[7] (The '& Co' and comma were dropped from the name much later.) The original partnership agreement, signed by Price, Holyland and Waterhouse could be found in Southwark Towers-(now under demolition), one of PwC's important legacy offices in London. Accountant, or Qualified Accountant, or Professional Accountant, is a certified accountancy and financial expert in the jurisdiction of many countries. ...

By the late nineteenth century, Price Waterhouse had gained significant recognition as an accounting firm. As a result of trade between the United Kingdom and the United States of America, Price Waterhouse opened an office in New York in 1890,[7] and the American firm itself soon expanded rapidly. The original British firm opened an office in Liverpool in 1904[7] and then elsewhere in the United Kingdom and countries abroad, each time establishing a separate partnership in each country: the worldwide practice of PW was therefore a federation of collaborating firms that had grown organically rather than being the result of an international merger.[7] Motto: (traditional) In God We Trust (official, 1956–present) Anthem: The Star-Spangled Banner Capital Washington, D.C.

In a further effort to take advantage of economies of scale, PW and Arthur Andersen had discussed a merger in 1989[8] but the negotiations failed mainly because of conflicts of interest such as Andersen's strong commercial links with IBM and PW's audit of IBM. The increase in output from Q to Q2 causes a decrease in the average cost of each unit from C to C1. ...

Sarbanes-Oxley Act The 2002 indictment of Enron and WorldCom and the subsequent collapse of Arthur Andersen resulted in calls for stringent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules on auditor independence.[11] One such result was the adoption of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which required auditor independence and separation of core audit from general consulting. This forced many of the Big Four to divest their interests in management consulting. However, a major part of the firm's practice is still to provide business advice in addition to its auditing services, notably in taxation and corporate finance.[12] Enron Creditors Recovery Corporation (formerly Enron Corporation) (former NYSE ticker symbol: ENE) was an American energy company based in Houston, Texas. ...

Structure and Service Lines
 PricewaterhouseCoopers offices at Darling Park Tower 2 in Sydney, Australia. The legal structure of a limited liability partnership is very different to that of a company, and as such the global firm is in fact a collection of member firms, that are run autonomously in their respective jurisdictions. The senior partners of member firms sit on a global board of partners and there is also an 'umbrella' organisation called PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited, a UK -based company which provides co-ordination. The current global CEO is Samuel DiPiazza.[13] Image File history File links Download high-resolution version (768x1024, 219 KB) The PricewaterhouseCoopers building in Sydney, Australia. ...

PwC Japan's Assurance (Audit) Service
 The Kasumigaseki Building in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo houses PwC Japan Tax Services and PwC HRS. Assurance and advisory services are in Marunouchi, Tokyo. The member firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata (あらた監査法人, PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata?) and a network firm Misuzu Audit Corporation (the former ChuoAoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers) (みすず監査法人, Misuzu Kansa Hōjin?) provided auditing services in Japan. Misuzu dissolved in July, 2007. Image File history File linksMetadata Download high-resolution version (1536x2048, 845 KB) Kasumigaseki Building, Tokyo. ...

From 2000 to 2006, PwC's affiliate of assurance service in Japan was ChuoAoyama Audit Corporation (中央青山監査法人, Chūō-Aoyama Kansa Hōjin?). In May 2006, the Financial Services Agency suspended ChuoAoyama following a suspicious audit of cosmetics company Kanebo in which three of the firm's partners allegedly assisted with accounting fraud and boosted earnings for the company by about $1.9 billion over the course of five years. The accountants involved were reprimanded by the Tokyo District Court but escaped prison time after a judge deemed them to have played a "passive role" in the crime.[22]
Shortly after the suspension of ChuoAoyama, PwC acted quickly to stem any possible client attrition as a result of the scandal. It set up the PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata, and some of ChuoAoyama's accountants (but most of the international divisions) moved to the new firm. ChuoAoyama resumed operations on September 1 under the Misuzu name. However, by this point the two firms combined had 30% fewer clients than did ChuoAoyama prior to its suspension.[23]
Staff Because PwC's only product is the output of its employees, the firm has a competitive recruiting program. PricewaterhouseCoopers was recently included in Fortune magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For" list, coming in at number 58 in 2007.[24] In the UK PwC has been voted number one in the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers for 4 consecutive years.[25] PricewaterhouseCoopers is one of the top 10 companies for working mothers.[26] In 2007, PwC's Canadian practice was named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers, as published in Maclean's magazine, one of only a handful of professional services firms to receive this honor.[27] PwC in Ireland was named as the winner of the Best Company to Work for in Ireland 2008 by the Great Place to Work Institute in their annual list of Ireland's top employers.[28] Categories: Magazines stubs | Time Warner subsidiaries | Business magazines ...

Consulting activities
 Screenshot of the PwC Consulting webpage indicating the IBM merger Though the firm's core business is audit, it had created a large professional consulting branch, as did other major accountancy firms, generating much of its fees. Management Consulting Services (MCS) was the fastest growing and often most profitable area of the practice, though it was cyclical. The major cause for growth in the Nineties was the implementation of complex integrated ERP systems such as SAP R/3 for multi-national companies.

However, PwC came under increasing pressure to avoid conflicts of interests by not providing consulting services to its audit clients. Since it audited a large proportion of the world's largest companies, this was beginning to limit its potential market. These conflicts were going to increase when additional services such as the outsourcing of ERP systems were offered. For these reasons, in 2000, Ernst & Young was the first of the Big Four to sell its consulting services, to Capgemini.[29] Outsourcing is subcontracting a process, such as product design or manufacturing, to a third-party company. ...
