Can't be one of the Big Three?!

Looks like a most unnecessary complication. What's the rationale for it? The company says it's audited by PWC, that's it. It may be inferred that the PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP stamp on their financials belongs to the New York-based PWC USA, but this deduction is "original research" in its finest. And it does not work at all with true multinationals with worldwide HQs in one country and assets all over the world.

Even worse, what if there is more than one global HQ, more than one stock exchange and, respectively, more than one reporting and audit jurisdiction? Yours truly worked for a company present on both LSE and US markets, and the reports for both were stamped by British and American divisions of the same audit firm. But the actual audit was managed from a third-country division (were most of the assets were based). Retired electrician (talk) 22:53, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
