Governance
The governance structure of PwC Ireland is made up of four main elements; the Managing Partner, the Territory Leadership Team, the Committee of the Board and the Public Interest Board.
The Managing Partner
The Managing Partner is elected by the partners for a four-year term after which he or she may be re-elected for a further term of four years. Our current Managing Partner is Feargal O'Rourke. He took office in July 2015. He is responsible for the leadership and strategic direction of the Firm and its role in PwC's global network.
The Territory Leadership Team
The Territory Leadership Team (TLT) is responsible for developing and implementing the policies and strategy of the Firm, and for its direction and management. The Territory Leadership Team also takes overall responsibility for the systems of internal control, which includes controls relating to quality, and for reviewing and evaluating their effectiveness.
The members of the Territory Leadership Team are appointed by the Firm's Managing Partner.

The Committee of the Board
The Committee of the Board, which is independent of the TLT, is elected by the partners for a four-year term. The Committee of the Board meets at least four times each year and meetings are attended by the Managing Partner, as an ex officio member.
The Committee of the Board provides the Managing Partner with guidance on matters of actual or potential concern to the partners, including national, legal, regulatory and fiscal issues and requirements impacting or potentially impacting the Irish Firm and its business. It is also responsible for overseeing the process for nominating and electing the Managing Partner.
