Subject: Information about PWC

Dear Ms. Plaza:

In our recent conversation, you asked me to research a good company to determine whether it would be a good place for UAH Accounting graduates to work. With your suggestion, I researched PWC, and I generated an informative report about PWC and the positions open to UAHuntsville Accounting graduates.

It provides assurance, tax and business consulting services. This company is the head of the big four International Accounting firms, and tied for the other three are KPMG, Deloitte, and Ernst & Young.
