Audit Transparency Report

“Our Transparency Report is an important regulatory requirement. It also gives us an opportunity to share how we have invested in quality, while embracing the changing environment and maintaining the financial and operational health of our business.

“It provides investors, companies, audit committees and audit professionals with insight on our commitment to a purpose-led culture, our mindset and behaviours, and how we are investing in controls and processes. These are important factors which support the resilience and agility of our Audit & Assurance business, focused on delivering the highest quality.”
