In its 2018 annual report, Vodafone shared that, during the 2017 financial year, they were notified by the lead audit partner that a company, for which a number of PwC partners were acting as administrators, was considering litigation against the group. In response, PwC implemented a number of safeguards but, in a December update, Vodafone said that, while PwC were "assessed as independent and will continue as the group's statutory auditors for the year ending 31 March 2019, it is uncertain how this matter may evolve and whether future developments may give rise to risks to audit independence." The company has now said its choice of auditor is EY.
