PwC Africa has announced six key focus areas that will support the execution of its new global strategy that was announced on 15 June 2021, known as The New Equation.
PwC Africa’s commitment to quality and exceptional service delivery unites these key focus areas and remains the foundation of the strategy going forward.
At the heart of this strategy is quality and continuing to invest in further enhancing quality and expanding its capabilities.
PwC Africa’s six key focus areas for The New Equation strategy are trust, growth, and value creation, ESG, digitisation, international development, and workforce.
Audit and assurance remain a critical aspect of PwC Africa’s business and as such, the firm will continue investing significantly in this area of its business, including investment in technology, and upskilling of its people to be more digitally enabled.
The New Equation focuses on two interconnected needs that organisations face in the coming years: building trust across a wide range of areas that are important to stakeholders and delivering sustained outcomes in an environment where the risk of disruption is more intense than ever before.
PwC Africa’s six focus areas will help to address these needs among clients, communities, and other stakeholders in Sub-Saharan Africa.
“Our purpose as PwC is to build trust in society and solve important problems. The New Equation will shape how we help to build trust, as well as how we deliver sustained outcomes as a community of problem solvers.
“Quality is at the heart of everything that we do, and therefore quality is the foundation supporting our execution of The New Equation strategy,” Dion Shango, CEO for PwC Africa, said.
“PwC has been in the African region for over 70 years, and we continue to be optimistic about the opportunities on the continent. In response to technological disruption, climate change, fractured geopolitics, and the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, amongst other challenges, many organisations need to refocus and that’s where we can help with The New Equation.”
Trust is one of two interconnected needs that organisations face in the coming years.
The New Equation is about helping organisations to build and sustain trust in their people, products, services, operations, and the communities in which they operate.
