About the Role
Audit matters to everyone. When a company shares its financial results, people need to know those numbers are accurate. Audit independently checks company financial reports, 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. We need to audit AI financial systems and processes too, meaning the scope of the work is always growing. We’re shaping the future of audit.
What You'll Do
As companies share financial and business results, you will check the information is accurate. Using proven testing methods, you will look closely at how these figures are produced. You will learn to spot inaccuracies and ask why.
Through our Early Careers training programme, you'll build professional, technical, and communication tools. You'll work creatively and collaboratively, growing your problem-solving, commercial, digital, and analytical skills. Eventually, you'll help develop others and lead small teams, auditing a huge range of global businesses and organisations.
Our Audit practice has two core groups:
- Large & Complex Audit: Includes listed companies (corporate and financial services) and their subsidiaries in the UK and internationally, as well as other public interest companies such as banks, insurers, large private companies, and public sector organisations.
- Portfolio Audit: Spans a wide range of sectors including both emerging and large private corporates, real estate funds, pension schemes, financial services brokers and investment managers. This offers the opportunity to work with privately-owned, dynamic, entrepreneurial and high growth businesses, both in the UK and internationally.
Where You'll Work
Deloitte operates a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. Client-facing roles may require attendance at client sites on certain days. Meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Your final assessment and induction will be in-person.
Flexibility can be discussed for health conditions or caring responsibilities.
