Master Audit Readiness with PwC & Luxury Presence

​As your company scales toward IPO or hyper-growth milestones, audit readiness becomes a strategic advantage — not just a compliance requirement. A well-run audit builds investor confidence, sharpens financial discipline, and lays the groundwork for sustainable growth.

​Join experts from PwC, Luxury Presence, and Rillet as they share practical insights from both sides of the audit cycle — from preparation to partnership.

You’ll learn how to:

• ​Find the right audit partner, not just the first one: Get insider advice on how to evaluate and choose the right auditor — so your audit relationship becomes a true strategic asset.

• ​Anticipate high-risk areas and avoid audit surprises: Learn where auditors tend to focus for hyperscalers and pre-IPO companies, and how to identify red flags early to prevent costly slowdowns.

• ​Turn audit prep into a year-round advantage: See how scaling finance teams stay audit-ready throughout the year, building processes that reduce last-minute stress and strengthen investor and board trust.
