The World Bank has imposed a 21-month ban on three PwC subsidiaries in Africa over misconduct related to a key project.

The decision follows an investigation into compliance breaches and improper practices.

The sanctions prevent the firms from participating in World Bank-financed projects during the suspension period.

PwC has responded by stating it is taking steps to strengthen internal controls and governance.

The case highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in international development projects.

Observers say the move could have broader implications for consulting firms operating in the region.
