Pat Durbin
Partner, PwC
Currently, I lead PwC's U.S. Standard Setting and Technical Thought Leadership team in our National Professional Services Group. Our team is responsible for developing the firm’s point of view on proposed changes to US GAAP, producing and maintaining all of the firm’s technical accounting and financial reporting guidance as well as delivering high impact thought leadership to the broader financial reporting community. I am a member of PwC’s Global Corporate Reporting Task Force, which is charged with developing the PwC global network’s point of view on international financial reporting matters, and serve as a member of the Institute of Management Accountants Financial Reporting Committee.
Prior to this current appointment, I led PwC’s Industrial Products Assurance practice in the New York metro region, including serving as the lead global audit engagement partner on a $5 billion SEC registered global engineering and construction firm. Earlier in my career, I completed a two-year Practice Fellowship at the Financial Accounting Standards Board and a two-year secondment to London as a member of PwC’s Global Capital Markets Group.
Outside the firm, I chair Penn State University's Smeal College of Business External Accounting Advisory Board. I graduated from Penn State with a B.S. in Accounting with Honors and with Highest Distinction, and hold CPA licenses in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
