Mr Benjamin Mak
Audit Manager
PricewaterhouseCoopers
Ben Mak joined PwC in Jan 2001 in their graduate recruitment program. He is currently a manager specialising in providing assurance services for the wealth management industry in Sydney.
Ben’s focus in Asialink is due to his own background as an Australian Chinese and also PwC’s focus in China. PwC innovative strategies has seen the Australian practice recruit and train graduates for the China practice and also look into outsourcing opportunities to the Indian practice.
