PwC sees off Deloitte to retain HSBC audit worth up to $1bn
PwC has retained the most valuable audit contract on the London Stock Exchange after overcoming a challenge from Deloitte to sign off the accounts of HSBC until 2034. HSBC announced on Friday that it had decided to reappoint PwC following a tender process that was required because the Big Four firm will have served for 10 years by the time it signs the 2024 accounts. PwC and Deloitte were the final two firms in HSBC’s marathon tendering process that effectively began when the bank informally contacted accounting firms in 2021, according to people familiar with the process.
