PwC appoints new head of assurance
IAN Morrison has been appointed the new Northern head of assurance by PricewaterhouseCoopers to replace Steve Denison, who has recently become chairman of the firm’s Northern practice.
He became a partner in 2005 and provides audit and transaction services to clients across a range of industry sectors, for both entrepreneur lead private businesses and listed companies.
He joined PwC’s audit practice in Leeds in 1992 and also spent two years on secondment in Melbourne, Australia. Mr Morrison has recently lead PwC’s entrepreneurial and private company team in Yorkshire.
He said: “I am very excited to be taking on this role. In the current climate, keeping close to our clients to help them with the challenges they face is crucial. Through our audit, transaction and risk assurance services teams we are committed to helping our clients succeed. We have a strong group of talented people in the North and I’m looking forward to working with them across the region.”
Steve Denison, Northern chairman at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said: “I am delighted Ian is taking over the role and am looking forward to working closely with him in developing PwC’s presence in the region.”
Mr Morrison is also a non-executive director of Connect Yorkshire – the organisation aimed at promoting Yorkshire as a region for technology businesses.
