Our Resident, PwC, is the largest tax advisory firm and the best audit firm of 2017! Congratulations!

The largest tax advisory firm
In the latest edition of the Dziennik Gazeta Prawna ranking, PwC has been ranked highest on the podium for another year in a row. The company was awarded in the category “The Largest Tax Advisory Firm 2017”.
In addition, Agata Oktawiec and Andrzej Zubik received an individual distinction in the category of tax disputes for their project for a foreign pension fund concerning an application for payment of interest by the tax authorities for withholding tax in violation of EU law. PwC also received recognition from the jury for two projects: the first security opinion on the market and support for tax security with technologies.
“In recent years, taxes have become one of the most important areas of companies’ operations, shaping their image, influencing their reputation or even market valuation. This trend will continue to strengthen in the future. The first place in the ranking of Dziennik Gazeta Prawna is a confirmation of our market position and the trust of our clients. says Tomasz Barańczyk, Managing Partner of PwC’s Legal and Tax Department.
Best Audit Firm
PwC was also ranked first in the category “Best Audit Firm in Poland 2017” (ex aequo) in the ranking of auditors organized annually by “Rzeczpospolita” and “Gazeta Giełdy Parkiet”. In addition, the company received a distinction in the “Pro-Social Audit Company” category.
In addition to auditing financial statements, the auditor more and more often provides management and supervisory boards of companies with assurance that the company is aware of the challenges and threats in the implementation of the strategy, and that the company’s processes operate in such a way as to prevent these risks. In the context of the growing responsibility of management and supervisory boards resulting from the current regulations, this type of assurance in both the financial and non-financial areas is becoming particularly important. The dynamically changing economic reality also causes a growing need for such information on the part of investors – said Krzysztof Szułdrzyński, Managing Partner of the Audit Department at PwC.
PwC has been present in Poland for over 27 years. It has 8 regional offices – in Warsaw, Łódź, Gdańsk, Poznań, Wrocław, Katowice, Kraków and Rzeszów , as well as a Competence Centre in Gdańsk and two Shared Services Centres in Katowice and Opole. PwC companies in Poland employ over 4,500 people.
