I am a postgraduate student of University of Manchester, and I am doing my post graduation in Town Planning with specialisation in Environmental change. I was wondering does PwC do any consulting in this particular field?

Hi guys, I've got a first round interview next week and am slightly confused by what PwC's website says and what Wikijob tells me regarding the main service lines that PwC offer.

I believe that they have sold their consulting arm to IBM, so technically speaking is that classed as advisory? But then why would they list 'Consulting' as one of their services on the PwC website? Also, the Internal Firm Services (IFS), what exactly does that involve?

As I understand, the main service lines are: - Assurance (audit) - Tax - Advisory/Consulting - Internal Firm Services (the rest?)

All clarifications would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!!
