Vatican shelves PwC as external auditor, keeps as consultant
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican has shelved plans to bring in an external auditor for its consolidated financial statements but has kept PricewaterhouseCoopers on for consulting services.
The Vatican announced in December that it had hired PwC as its external auditor, part of financial czar Cardinal George Pell's march to bring the Holy See's finances in line with international standards.
