Abstract

We review the status of  NNLO QCD--electroweak corrections to W- and Z-boson production at hadron
colliders. We outline the application of the pole approximation to compute the dominant corrections, which arise from
the combination of the QCD corrections to the production with electroweak corrections to the decay of the W/Z~boson.
We compare these results to simpler approximations based on naive products of NLO QCD and electroweak correction factors or leading-logarithmic approximations for QED final-state radiation.
