PwC has now started leveraging its new Halo solution to support audits of clients engaged in cryptocurrency work. It is also working with companies for whom it is not the auditor, to help them address the new opportunities and challenges of blockchain and cryptocurrency, including helping them implement the processes and controls they will require to obtain assurance reports.

PwC can currently use the tool to provide assurance services to clients transacting in Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Diamond, LiteCoin, Ethereum, ERC20 - OAX token, and Ripple (XRP).
Ian Clague, Senior Partner, PwC Isle of Man, says: ‘As companies continue to digitise, it is important auditors keep up with technology changes in the market, continue to develop audit tools that meet the needs of emerging technologies and serve the changing and developing demands of our stakeholders.’
