About the role

Join Deloitte's Audit BrightStart Higher Apprenticeship programme. Audit matters to everyone - 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 with increasing use of AI and other technologies to automate and standardise processes. You'll work directly with major organisations, gain real-world experience while being paid to learn and progress, and develop responsibility for developing people and managing teams. Choose between Large & Complex Audit (listed companies, corporate and financial services, banks, insurers, large private companies, public sector organisations) or Portfolio Audit (privately-owned, dynamic, entrepreneurial and high growth businesses across various sectors).

Requirements

You'll need to have obtained or be studying towards at least 104 UCAS points (260 UCAS points pre-2017) for your A levels (or equivalent).

A hybrid working arrangement with a combination of office and home working is in place; client-facing roles may require attendance at client sites on certain days.
