PwC Audit & Assurance

Assurance London

I am not sure about other offices but the Assurance structure in London is now:
B & CM
I & IM
LMT - london mid tier (FTSE 150, AIM listed - small companies and entrepreneurs - small audit teams)
LTT - london top tier (FTSE 200 - big audit teams etc)

Hey Colouringin,
first of all thanks for the info.

I have been trying to research these divisions of the assurance sector at PwC in London and I was just wondering where you got that information from as it does not seem to be stated expressly/clearly on the PwC website itself.

I can confirm that all other offices of PwC just have an assurance sector, without the different divisions.

1Ger,
I was wondering whether you have had any luck in finding out more information into these divisions. If you have, could you please post any information you got on this blog.

Hi
Sorry, the groups for London were sent to me in an email once i had received my offer. Speaking with a director in my interview, they had restructured london audit to these new groups to allow for more diversity in LTT and LMT i think. B&CM and I&IM still remain exactly the same.

Hey colourign,

But were u asked by the interviewer about what division you would want to work for if PwC gave you an offer because I was asked this in my first interview and I just said honestly, I didn't know how the divisions were divided up. I felt so stupid. If u were asked, what did you say?

I wasn't asked in my first interview but in my 2nd interview I said LMT as it seemed the most diverse and I felt that it kept my options open for longer as I'm starting from a non commercial background. I don't think they really expect you to know much about the divisions during the first interview considering they are not even on the website so I wouldn't worry too much.

Does anyone know what the graduate starting salary is for London Assurance/Audit?

Low to high 20's depending on firm. Big 4 are all around 25,000 - 27,000 in London, a little less outside.

Thanks. I meant PwC specificity - has anyone received an offer this year and willing to share?

I'm pretty sure it's exactly £25,000 - £25,500.

they usually decide nearer the time

I guess you meant:
LTT: FTSE 100
LMT: FTSE 250

150 & 200 don't exists (http://www.ftse.com/Indices/UK_Indices/index.jsp)

Pwc Audi in London was 27k last year for a fact as i have a friend there in financial services audit, and this yr apparently (from reading comments on here) its risen by 1k. IM not too sure if theres any difference in terms of audit division, i know tax usuallys pays an insignificant more.

A bit over 27,000. More if you include benefits and pension.

Hello,

Have a choice of I&IM or LTT (FTSE 200).

Anyone know the pros and cons of each sector?

hi WastedFun,
Care to share your partner interview experience with me? Would so much appreciate it if you can thanks loads :)

Haven't had it yet.

Just received an email discussing the two options available should I be successful.

When is your partner interview?

really? that's odd cos i haven't received that email yet. I have mine next week in london. When is yours? Have they called you yet to discuss the competencies to be tested?

Haven't had a confirmation date but spoke to someone in HR and they said it could be up to a month before a slot becomes available but this is the situation for all pending graduates (hopefully). Well, at least there's plenty of time to prepare...
