Guys, my friend had her last working day last week and she thinks she forgot to fill her timesheet for her last 2 days before handing over the laptop. What can be the consequences of this? She is really worried about this
P.S she belongs to a back end team serving the firm internally charging time on only one code.

PwC has 2 Acceleration Centers (AC) in India - Bangalore AC and Kolkata AC - both are separate legal entities and operate separately. They were previously known as Bangalore SDC and Kolkata SDC, Service Delivery Centers
Yup, but AC will refer to SDC kolkatta mostly. They are trying to bring sdc kolkata and sdc bangalore as one entity but more or less sdc refefs to kolkatta entity. Do crosscheck
Okay my bad , sorry for the comment
Yes...initially it was SDC now they call it AC.
Rebranding exercise, previously called Service Delivery Center now Acceleration Center
Chief
It’s part of Bangalore entity
IAC is India acceleration center at Kolkata. MAC is Mumbai acceleration center. BAC is Bangalore acceleration center. SDC is the old name
Chief
Bangalore AC is BAC.
Just FYI for everyone.
Bangalore AC has offices in Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad, doesn’t mean there is an MAC, the Mumbai office is for Bangalore AC legal entity
Yeah they are same
Hey PwC 3,
There is a Mumbai AC too. It is probably called DIAC. It's model is slightly different but does management consulting for sure. Somehow it is not included with Bangalore and Kolkata SDC/AC. Mumbai PwC is not just the legal team office for Bangalore AC.
YES the firm plans on combing every entity under PwC, all ACs and even PwC India.
This is correct. I worked with data analytics folks from DIAC Mumbai (sometimes called Mumbai AC).

I highly doubt that - https://www.pwc.com/gx/en/about/corporate-governance/network-structure.html
Go through the above link, there is a list of all PwC legal entities in India also.
As for this plan of combing all entities, could you please let me know the source of this news?
Chief
Well I have heard about DIAC but I can totally confirm when we talk about ACs, their parent legal entity is either Kolkata AC or Bangalore AC. Regardless of whatever location the office is in. Example Kolkata legal entity has offices in Bangalore, The office in Hyderabad is a joint venture between Kolkata legal entity and Bangalore legal entity. Also if you ask me, pwc india getting merged to pwc AC is a very big thing and I don’t see that happening ever.

P6, do you have any idea what even your are trying to say or are you trying to fire blank shots to prove your misinformed points. I am an LTA from pwc US and work a lot directly with partners from pwc US for cross engagement teams and cross line of service. Are you suggesting that two different firms who drive their own profits who are competing for clients( recently Kolkata SDC have started bidding for local audit client) are trying to merge and the stakeholders have no idea whereas you have !
Please add your source.
FYI - can’t reveal much but some of the partners I work with report directly to Mohamed kande and Tim Ryan.
P3 has provided a very good link above about the firm structure in whole.
