CIPS Business PlanFY 04 Sector Mining February 2003 PwC
Industry Sector Vision We aim to be the preferred provider of services to the most important companies in our sector: these companies are important due to either size and reach, or strategically important due to their unique geographic or political positioning in the global marketplace. One of our core drivers is to maintain our dominant position in the mining industry through outstanding service and thought leadership. We will be the firm of choice for audit and related governance and controls services to this sector, and will also provide leading edge taxation, legal and financial advisory services (including M&A and regulatory) where our clients permit a broader range of services from their auditor. For non-audit clients, we will be selected as the primary provider of the widest range of services from all service lines. Our raison d’etre is to add value to our clients through outstanding service and quality of advice, helping our clients find success in turbulent markets through robust, ethical governance and management practices.
Strategic priorities • SEC - address current GAAP mining issues being raised by the SEC and develop and submit comments on those issues to the SEC (refer to “External Positioning” for further details). • FRIM – Updating of the publication Financial Reporting in the Mining Industry for the 21st century (refer to “External Positioning” for further details). • Gold Survey – has been done for North America in previous years. To be expanded into a more global project in FY04. • Mining Value Reporting - Launching and follow-up on our mining Value Reporting project. • Business Compass – Develop Business Compass materials for Mining. PricewaterhouseCoopers
Clients and targets • PwC 300 Client Programme • BHP Billiton • Rio Tinto • The sector only has two clients in the PwC 300 program. The nature and size of the industry dictates that most of our significant clients will form part of the PwC 1000 by virtue of size, strategic importance to a region or political positioning in the global market place. An extensive amount of our efforts will be focused on these clients. • Team meetings and APWs • Account plans These will be drawn up by June 2003 for presentation at APWs and team meetings to be held prior to our global mining conference. These will be relative to the audit work done by PwC in the 2003/2004 year. • Client satisfaction surveys These will be conducted annually. BHP Billiton will be done by the Australian firm and sent out around September 2003. Rio Tinto has a very comprehensive program controlled by Rio’s internal audit department. This will be done again for the December 2003 audit and results collated for the audit committee. • SRP visits BHP Billiton is done by Paul Brasher (Chairman of the Australian firm) – to be done after audit prior to December 2003. Rio Tinto – done by Hugh Cameron in February/March of each year after the audit. • Channel Two activity Both are SEC listed and both have audit committees which limit the channel 2 work that can be done. However, opportunities are constantly sought after in tax, sustainable development and SEC advice. The main focus of our service to these 2 clients is to ensure we retain their audit and grow our fees with their acquisitions. • Revenue targets Our target would be to grow our fees by at least 5%.
