year, beginning 1 October 2024.
Subject to KPMG becoming independent and regulatory consent being obtained, the

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is currently Westpac’s external auditor and will
undertake the audit for the 2024 financial year.
Steven Gregg, Chair of Westpac’s Board said: “On behalf of the Westpac Board of
Directors, I’d like to thank PwC for the quality of its audit work over the years. PwC or its
predecessor firms have been Westpac’s external auditor for over 50 years. Good
governance supports the change of auditors at this time. We now look forward to working
with KPMG.”
