It represents a 3% fee income rise in local currency taking into account exchange rates.
Three service lines – audit, tax and corporate finance – help boost the Big Four firm’s results increasing revenues by $1.4bn (£0.8bn).
Its audit arm grew by 17% in US dollars with corporate finance not far behind at 14%, while the tax practice achieved just 2% growth.
The firm’s UK results will be released this Thursday.
