Middle East Assurance Center of Excellence is the PwC ME's assurance alternative delivery setup. Since launching in 2013, the delivery centre has been providing a broad range of services to the Assurance business enabling growth and value creation by driving new ways of working to deliver quality and operational efficiency. Our center of excellence was established to help the business meet unique resource and service delivery needs, become more competitive in the market and to enhance our value proposition - to our clients and our people.

In this regional business unit we perform specific audit and administrative activities. Our digital services are developed with a process driven approach with corresponding training and technology.
