Holyland left shortly after to work alone in accountancy and the firm was known from 1874 as Price, Waterhouse & Co.[9] (The ’& Co’ and comma was dropped from the name much later.) The original partnership agreement, signed by Price, Holyland and Waterhouse could be found in Southwark Towers, one of PwC’s important legacy offices (now under demolition) in London. 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,[9] and the American firm itself soon expanded rapidly. The original British firm opened an office in Liverpool in 1904[9] 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.[9] In a further effort to take advantage of economies of scale, PW and Arthur Andersen had discussed a merger in 1989[10] 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. A former PwC office building (Southwark Towers) in London, England. The C&L logo before the merger fiscal 2008, and employed over 146,000 people[7] in 150 countries.[7] In the United States, where it is the third largest privately owned organization, it operates as PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.[8] PricewaterhouseCoopers is a Big Four auditor, alongside KPMG, Ernst & Young and Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. Coopers & Lybrand In 1854 William Cooper established his own practice in London, which became Cooper Brothers seven years later when his three brothers joined.[11] In the USA in 1898, Robert H. Montgomery, William M. Lybrand, Adam A. Ross Jr. and his brother T. Edward Ross formed Lybrand, Ross Brothers and Montgomery.[5] Coopers & Lybrand is the result of a merger in 1957 between Cooper Brothers & Co; Lybrand, Ross Bros & Montgomery and a Canadian firm McDonald, Currie and Co.[5] In 1990 in certain countries including the UK Coopers & Lybrand merged with Deloitte Haskins & Sells to become Coopers & History The firm was created by the merger of two large firms Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand in 1998. These two firms each had histories dating back to the nineteenth century. 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lybrand Deloitte,[5] in 1992 renamed Coopers & Lybrand.[12] PricewaterhouseCoopers Global structure The merger In 1998, Price Waterhouse merged with Coopers & Lybrand to form PricewaterhouseCoopers in an attempt to gain a scale that would put the new firm in a different league.[13] Recent history By the late 1990’s the firm 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.[14] PwC therefore planned to capitalize on MCS’s rapid growth through its sale to Hewlett Packard (for a reported $17 billion) but negotiations broke down in 2000.[15] PwC announced in May 2002 that its consulting activities would be spun off as an independent entity. An outside consultancy, Wolff Olins, was hired to create a brand image for the new entity, called "Monday". The firm’s CEO, Greg Brenneman described the unusual name as "a real word, concise, recognizable, global and the right fit for a company that works hard to deliver results."[16] These plans were soon revised, however. In October 2002, PricewaterhouseCoopers sold the entire consultancy business to IBM for approximately $3.9 billion in cash and stock. PwC’s consultancy business was absorbed into IBM Global Business Services, increasing the size and capabilities of IBM’s growing consulting practice.[17] 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 [18]-based company which provides co-orUK dination. The current global CEO is Samuel DiPiazza.[19]. Dennis Nally, the current Chairman of the US firm, has been elected to replace him beginning in June 2009. [20] Services Global PricewaterhouseCoopers has three main service lines:[21] • Assurance, • Tax, (international tax planning and compliance with local tax laws, human resourcing consulting transfer pricing) • Advisory - mainly consulting activities which covers Strategy, Performance 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Improvement, Transactions Services, Business Recovery Services, M&A and Crisis Management in a range of specialist areas such as accountancy and actuarial advisory. PwC’s service lines face the market in each country by broad industry specializations such as: • Consumer and Industrial Products and Service (CIPS),[22] • Financial Services (FS),[23] • Technology, Information, Communications and Entertainment (TICE),[24] • Infrastructure, Government and Utilities (IG&U)[25] These sub-divisions may vary slightly in some territories. PricewaterhouseCoopers Consulting activities PwC has developed several broader consulting initiatives in the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework, including a global effort to assist corporations with outsourcing, as well as a global political risk assessment with the political risk advisory firm Eurasia Group.[26] Advisory services offered by PwC also include two actuarial consultancy departments; Actuarial and Insurance Management Solutions (AIMS) and a sub branch of "Human Resource Services" (HRS). Actuarial covers mainly 4 areas: pensions, life insurance, nonlife insurance and investments. AIMS deals with life and non-life insurance and investments while HRS deals mainly with pensions.[27] PwC serves the U.S. Federal Government through their Washington Federal Practice (WFP). PwC has over 2000 professionals based in the Washington Metro Corridor.[28] The Kasumigaseki Building in Kasumigaseki, Tokyo houses PwC Japan Tax Services and PwC HRS. Assurance and advisory services are in Marunouchi, Tokyo. 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.[29] 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 1st under the Misuzu name. However, by this point the two firms combined had 30% fewer clients than did ChuoAoyama prior to its suspension.[30] PwC Japan’s Assurance (Audit) Service The member firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata (???????, PricewaterhouseCoopers Aarata) and a network firm Misuzu Audit Corporation (the former ChuoAoyama PricewaterhouseCoopers) (???????, Misuzu Kansa Hōjin) provided auditing services in Japan. Misuzu dissolved in July, 2007. From 2000 to 2006, PwC’s affiliate of assurance service in Japan was ChuoAoyama Audit Corporation (????????, Chūō-Aoyama Kansa Hōjin). In May 2006, the Financial Services Agency suspended ChuoAoyama Major clients Europe and North America account for about 81% of PwC’s annual revenue,[6] with Europe 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia alone accounting for 45%.[6] The firm’s dominant practice, namely auditing, accounts for over 50% of PwC’s revenue.[21] As of March 2005, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ audit clients included four of the 10 largest public companies in the United States (ExxonMobil, Ford Motor Company, ChevronTexaco and IBM). PwC also audits four of the 10 largest companies in the United Kingdom (GlaxoSmithKline, Royal Dutch Shell, Barclays and Lloyds TSB). One client, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, gives PwC the unique distinction of having been (in various incarnations) the tabulator and certifier of votes for the Academy Awards since 1934.[31] PwC audits 40 per cent of companies in the FTSE 100 Index[32] and 45 per cent of the Fortune 1000 energy companies.[33] PricewaterhouseCoopers Aerospace & defence: Raytheon, United Technologies, L-3 Communications Corporation Automobiles & parts: Goodyear,Toyota Motor, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Robert Bosch GmbH, Ford Banks: Afghanistan International Bank, Askari Bank, Bank of AJK, Al Rahji Banking & Investment, Bank of America, Bank of China (Hong Kong), Bank of Ireland, Banco Itau, Banco Popular Español, Barclays, Crédit Agricole, BB&T, BNP Paribas, Banco Bradesco, Commerzbank, Dexia, DnB NOR, Firstrand Bank Limited, Fortis, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Lloyds TSB, Macquarie Bank, Riyad Bank, Sanpaolo IMI, Sberbank (Russia), SEB, Standard Bank, Westpac Banking Corporation Beverages: Anheuser-Busch, Miller, SAB Chemicals: Albemarle, Bayer, E.I. du Pont de Nemours, Praxair, Shin Etsu Chemical, Rohm & Haas Electricity: RAO UES, Chubu Electric Power, FirstEnergy, Exelon, Unified Energy System, ATCO, AMEREN Electronic & electrical equipment: Agilent Technologies, Kyocera, LG Philips LCD, Logitech Fixed line telecommunications: BellSouth, BT Group, Etisalat, KPN, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, PT.
