Summary
PwC and Auditchain Labs have formed a strategic partnership to deliver automated regulatory disclosure solutions for crypto-asset issuers and capital market participants. The cooperation leverages Auditchain's Pacioli.ai—an agentic AI platform that automates the preparation and validation of financial and non-financial disclosures—combined with PwC's deep regulatory, legal, and capital markets expertise.
The Pacioli.ai platform automates the preparation of disclosure models and exports them in structured formats including XBRL and iXBRL, standards mandated by over 140 regulators across 65 jurisdictions. Beyond automation, the Pacioli.ai validator network provides independent, corroborated external validation of disclosures, addressing the need for auditable, traceable compliance documentation. PwC's role focuses on ensuring these solutions meet supervisory standards through independent legal and advisory guidance.
The partnership's initial offering, called START (Submission, Traceability, Automation, Reporting & Transparency), targets compliance obligations under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) in Europe, specifically addressing white paper disclosure requirements. According to Dr. Hagen Weiss, Digital Assets Legal Leader at PwC, the cooperation positions both firms to address the evolving regulatory landscape as capital markets migrate onchain, with applicability to emerging U.S. legislation such as the proposed GENIUS and CLARITY Acts. The integrated solutions aim to help organizations prepare, validate, and file regulatory disclosures more efficiently while maintaining the compliance, computability, traceability, and auditability required by supervisory authorities.
