PwC's Layoff Plan Affects 4,000 Employees
Accounting Giant Cuts Back
PwC, one of the Big Four accounting firms, has announced plans to lay off 4,000 employees. The layoffs will affect about 2% of PwC's global workforce.
In a statement, PwC said the layoffs are part of a "restructuring" plan aimed at improving the company's efficiency and competitiveness.
The layoffs are expected to be completed by the end of June. PwC said it will provide severance packages and other support to the affected employees.
PwC is not the only accounting firm to announce layoffs recently. Deloitte and EY have also announced plans to cut jobs.
The layoffs come at a time when the accounting industry is facing a number of challenges, including the rise of artificial intelligence and the increasing complexity of tax laws.
It is unclear how the layoffs will affect PwC's clients. The firm said it is committed to providing its clients with the same high level of service.
The layoffs are a reminder that even the largest and most successful companies are not immune to the economic downturn.
