PwC's Business School
PwCs’ Business School provides a distinctive approach to learning and development, tailored for both our clients and our people.
Open minds, change minds
PwC’s Business School grows talent by upskilling our people, clients, profession and the wider business community with the right skills and core competencies to ensure that they reach their full potential. To achieve this we provide learning solutions that are relevant in today’s business environment and are linked to business strategy and specific industry factors.
For PwC, developing people and sharing knowledge is central to how we do business. We believe it is pivotal to the achievement of growth in our firm, our clients, industries and the broader economy.
Due to our deep experience within our industry and our knowledge of our clients and the industries in which they operate, we are subject matter experts in a variety of areas. This knowledge base is constantly growing. PwC’s Business School is therefore focused on delivering relevant learning and development solutions based on this knowledge and our practical experience.
Learning solutions
Accounting
The Accounting Centre at PwC's Business School provides regular courses on the latest developments in IFRS, as well as offering client-specific training events. Our approach to training goes beyond the theoretical requirements of accounting standards and provides insight into the practical challenges of compliance, the perspectives of accounting regulators, and the views of investors.
Customised in-house training
We design and customise training for employees at every level, from new joiners to C-suite and within a wide variety of organisations, in a number of areas, as detailed on our website. Verifiable CPD certificates can be arranged for all of these sessions.
Corporate governance
Disruptions abound in today's business world. Some stakeholders want boards to become more diverse, and increasingly vocal shareholders want to communicate differently with company directors and management. Technology is drastically altering the world of business, presenting vast new opportunities and increasingly pronounced risks. Things are changing in the corporate governance world.

Empowering directors for the future | Training
In today’s fast-evolving governance landscape, directors face increasing scrutiny, complexity and responsibility. Whether newly appointed or seasoned, every director must continuously upskill to remain effective, informed and resilient. This two-part training programme is designed to equip directors with the essential knowledge, strategic insights and ethical frameworks needed to lead confidently and compliantly. This offering is available to the public on set dates and can also be tailored to meet specific organisational needs.
What to expect – Day 1: Governance, legislation and tax
Day 1 sets the foundation for effective directorship. Participants begin with a deep dive into corporate governance, exploring board composition, independence, and the principles of King IV and V. The session highlights the critical distinction between strategic oversight and operational involvement, helping directors understand their role in driving integrated thinking and reporting.
What to expect – Day 2: Ethics, leadership and risk
Day 2 shifts focus to the human and strategic dimensions of leadership. The morning begins with a session on ethical leadership, exploring decision making frameworks and the link between ethics and long-term value creation. Next, participants engage with the “six paradoxes of leadership,” a forward-looking framework that challenges traditional leadership models and helps directors assess their own leadership styles. The final session covers risk, compliance and assurance. Directors will gain clarity on the Three Lines of Defence, enterprise risk management and operational resilience through scenario planning. This equips them to navigate uncertainty and ensure robust governance structures.
ESG Solution
Introducing the future of responsible investing: ESG! The ESG concept, which stands for Economic and Governance, Environmental, and Social factors, has taken the world by storm. Investors, regulators, and consumers are all focusing on ESG more than ever before.
Why? Because ESG can represent both risks and opportunities that will affect a company's ability to create long-term value. By considering ESG factors, investors can make informed decisions about the companies they invest in, and consumers can choose to support brands that align with their values.
Don't miss out on the ESG revolution! Embrace the power of responsible investing today and make a positive impact on the world. Join us and be a part of the change!
Taxation
The Business School's Tax Centre aims to demystify the SA tax minefield. The complexity, sophistication and sheer volume of tax legislation, case law and practice has increased exponentially over the last decade or so, and most taxpayers are not even sure what they need to be aware of. We offer a series of generic public seminars on various topics, as well as bespoke client-specific training sessions. Read more about taxation seminars here.
