| | PwC has announced that gross worldwide revenues of its network of firms grew by 11%, at constant exchange rates, to US$22bn in the fiscal year ended 30 June 2006.
“Revenues for the PwC international network were particularly strong in 2006,” said global CEO Samuel A. DiPiazza, Jr. “We saw healthy growth across the globe, driven by the strength of our brand and services, buoyant economic conditions and the hard work and | |
|
| | commitment of our 140,000 strong PwC team.”
The PwC network performed well in all major geographic markets in FY2006. Developing markets continued to grow particularly strongly with revenue increasing by 26.4% in Central and Eastern Europe, 22.7% in South and Central America and 16.8% in the Middle East and Africa. Revenues from North America and The Caribbean were up 12.1% and in Asia, | |
|
| | revenues increased 11.9%.
Western Europe and Australia and the Pacific Islands also continued to perform well with revenues up 8.8% and 9.6% respectively.
For the second consecutive year, most large PwC firms achieved double-digit revenue growth. Revenue growth was strongest in China, Russia and other developing markets. Continued strong economic conditions | |
|
| | around the world helped drive robust work for non-audit clients and in transaction-related services during FY 2006.
Advisory was the fastest growing service line, with 19.7% growth, topping US$4bn, reflecting the successful implementation of a co-ordinated market strategy around the world and an increased focus on priority clients.
Tax also performed very strongly with 12.1% | |
|
| | growth, to over US$5bn, resulting primarily from a heightened emphasis on providing services to non-audit clients.
PwC Assurance continues to place its main focus on quality and, despite a levelling off in demand for Sarbanes-Oxley related services, reported year-on-year revenue growth of 7.8%, to over US$11bn.
