Formed through the 1998 merger of Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand — both of which had served insurance clients for over a century — PwC inherited deep institutional expertise in the sector. The firm operates across virtually every major insurance market, advising [[Definition:Insurance carrier | carriers]], [[Definition:Reinsurer | reinsurers]], [[Definition:Lloyd's of London | Lloyd's]] participants, [[Definition:Insurance broker | brokers]], and [[Definition:Insurtech | insurtech]] companies on matters ranging from [[Definition:Financial reporting | financial reporting]] and [[Definition:Actuarial analysis | actuarial analysis]] to [[Definition:Digital transformation | digital transformation]] and [[Definition:Insurance mergers and acquisitions (M&A) | M&A]] strategy.

Its audit teams serve as statutory and group auditors for many of the world's largest insurance groups, applying standards including [[Definition:IFRS 17 | IFRS 17]], [[Definition:US GAAP | US GAAP]], and local reporting frameworks.
