Hi fellow PwCers I need some guidance with respect to the technical case interview preparation for PwC UK. If anyone can please provide some context around the format of the interview, significant areas the interviewers usually discuss, the length and quality of issues. I have heard that you are supposed to walk through the interview panel like an audit committee presentation but I am not sure if I need to share any PPT decks with them. Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. Based on my past experience, I have outlined a draft for the following aspects to be covered during my presentation:

a) Executive Summary
b) Impacts of Covid
c) Materiality used and any revisions, if any
d) Significant areas for the audit including management estimates and the underlying audit results/findings. Also including the impacts of SOX/ICFR reporting in case of public listed.
e) Any new technical accounting pronouncements impacting my client
f) Usage of data analytics during the audit, if any
g) Required AC Communication and Independence Matters
h) SUM and SAD schedule, if any

I am not sure if I am going bonkers in my preparation for this but wanted to give my best shot at it. Let me know if you have any further feedback to add.
