About the role
Audit matters to everyone. When a company shares its financial results, people need to know those numbers are accurate. This is where audit comes in. We check company financial reports independently, so the public, investors and businesses can trust what they're seeing. The landscape for audit reporting is changing fast, creating demand and evolving the services we provide. We're increasingly using AI and other technologies to automate and standardise processes, as well as improve accuracy. You'll have the chance to work directly with major organisations, building your skills through an excellent training programme. By joining this programme you'll deliver quality services that make a real difference to society. Early on in your career you'll be given responsibility for developing people and managing teams. You'll get involved with different organisations, helping you to understand how they operate and learning about economic and industry issues that matter to them. You'll have the opportunity to think creatively and work together to solve problems. Two core areas to choose from: Large & Complex Audit (listed companies, corporate and financial services, banks, insurers, large private companies and public sector organisations) or Portfolio Audit (emerging growth and large private corporates, real estate funds, pension schemes, financial services brokers and investment managers).
