• Careful consideration of organisations, alongside assessment of the firm's skills and expertise in new industries, remains an important part of the client acceptance and continuance process.​

• The firm continues to monitor developments across the PwC Network such as potential quality failures and the response to these by non-UK regulators, which may result in contagion or delivery risks for the UK.​

• Workforce planning remains focused on attracting, developing and retaining critical skills to ensure the execution of consistent high-quality audits.​

• Continued developments in technology and AI are increasing the importance of resilient audit execution and the effective use of technology-enabled tools. ​
