This report provides insight into how PwC Norway’s audit practice works to ensure quality in the audit
Transparency Report 2025
Welcome to our 2025 Transparency Report
At PwC, we help our clients build trust and think innovatively, enabling them to turn complexity into a competitive advantage. We are a network of firms in 136 countries, powered by technology and people, with over 364,000 employees. Our purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems. Through audit and advisory, tax and legal services, transactions, and consulting, we contribute to creating, accelerating, and sustaining progress with a leading culture of quality.
Our purpose is a commitment, and our culture must always be characterised by high quality. The credibility we hold as society’s trusted adviser also depends on our ability to evolve in step with the world around us—and preferably stay ahead. Therefore, we continuously develop our strategy to address the megatrends related to a fragmented world, technological disruption, climate change, demographic shifts, and social instability.
Our strategy is anchored in four key areas: Technology, Data and AI; Sustainability; Trust in What Matters; and New Business Models. Through these market platforms, we aim to build trust and expertise at a time when traditional boundaries between industries, businesses, and economies are shifting, and new players are emerging—reshaping how we produce, build, move, power, care for, and feed society.
Building on PwC’s global strategy to build trust and act as a catalyst for change among the largest and most complex organisations, we decided in autumn 2025 to carve out and sell parts of our audit and advisory business. The new company will have 260 employees and 18 partners who, together with the private equity firm IK Partners and local PwC partners, will focus on local and non-regulated clients. The transaction covers 20 offices: Askim, Bodø, Brønnøysund, Drammen, Egersund, Florø, Førde, Hamar, Haugesund, Lillehammer, Mo i Rana, Molde, Mosjøen, Måløy, Sandane, Sarpsborg, Sogndal, Stryn, Ulsteinvik, and Ålesund. Going forward, PwC in Norway will consist of seven offices: Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, Stavanger, Kristiansand, Tromsø, and Sandefjord, with approximately 2,300 employees and 160 partners.
We will continue helping our clients adapt continuously and create lasting value. We do this by delivering high quality and providing our clients with fresh insights and expertise. To succeed in a world of increasing complexity and pace of change, it is crucial that we develop experts in different fields who collaborate to meet society’s and the market’s expectations for relevance and quality. That is why we continuously invest in new competence and service areas.
In this year’s Transparency Report, we are proud to share more about how we work with quality at PwC.
