After inspecting PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) operations in the UK, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in the US has given the Big Four firm a clean bill of health.

The report concluded the inspection team did not identify anything it would consider ‘a quality control defect that warrants discussion in a board inspection report’.
