FY23 proved to be a defining year for PwC Cyprus. It was a year in which we were called upon to address
a significant contraction in our revenue base arising from complying fully with the Global PwC sanctions
policy, as well as from implementing locally, additional, non-sanctions related risk and reputation client
retention reviews.
The overall contraction of our revenue base to date, from clients we stopped servicing due to the
implementation of the aforementioned policies, was more than 20% of our revenues compared to the levels
of FY22. In the face of such a severe commercial impact, PwC Cyprus took the decision to implement an
ambitious growth strategy coupled with a business transformation plan with the aim of bouncing back
by tapping into new sources of revenue and utilising operational efficiencies.
No matter the industry, sector or region, clients have told us that they are facing an increasing number of interconnected financial and non-financial challenges. Often things that they’ve never faced before. The degree of disruption felt over the past 12 months created an urgent need for agility, foresight and change, and clients have turned to us to help them respond to these fundamental market challenges and opportunities. At a pivotal moment for business, we’ve focused on these issues from a new angle - bringing together the best people and technology to help our clients build trust and deliver sustained outcomes, with an approach that is human-led and tech-powered.

around the 5 pillars of our revamped People Value Proposition
(PVP) that represents a Deal between the organisation and
our people:
• Evolving, Learning Edge Flexibility
• Valuing and Caring for our People
• Future - focused growth and development
• Innovative, purpose-led work
• Inclusive Leadership and Teamwork
This year, we have made an unprecedented level of investment
in our people, from enhancing flexibility through the introduction
of a 4-day week during July and August 2022, to upskilling
opportunities and, importantly, our biggest investment in pay
in 10 years. We’ve continued to take a people-led approach
against a backdrop of ongoing change and disruption.
Giving and volunteering are the ideals and values needed to solve the critical problems facing humanity today. 2022/2023 was a decisive year for PwC Cyprus, since the actions of the organisation that were part of the axis of Corporate Responsibility, were further bolstered and incorporated in a specific context.
We launched the PwC Foundation, a non-profit organisation
through which we aim to strengthen the local community and
improve the quality of people's lives by providing diverse
support in the following three pillars:
• Education & Culture
• Youth entrepreneurship
• Offering our hearts & minds
The second year of our operations has been an extraordinary journey as the PwC Experience Center and Experience Consulting team established a unique service offering encompassing the present and future of business, experiences, and technology integration. Expanding across various sectors with unwavering determination, we faced the challenges of an evolving technology landscape. Witnessing the boundless creativity of our clients, we unlocked new dimensions of their businesses, reimagining the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.
