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. This role protects people and makes a genuine difference.
The audit reporting landscape is changing fast, with increasing use of AI and other technologies to automate and standardise processes, and improve accuracy. Businesses are also using AI technologies, changing how they operate. We need to audit their AI financial systems and processes, meaning the scope of our work is always growing. We’re shaping the future of audit.

This scheme is for university students who are doing well academically and want to test their skills in the real world.
- You must be in the penultimate year of your course, or going onto a Master’s.
- You need to be on track to achieve a predicted degree classification of 2:1 or above in any discipline.
