IT Audit - Industrial Placement

In IT Audit, we help organisations identify and manage technology risks that could impact financial reporting and business performance. As an IT Auditor, you will identify technology-related risks, evaluate the effectiveness of IT controls and cybersecurity measures, and assess the impact of emerging technologies, such as AI, cloud computing, and automation, on an organisation's control environment. Working alongside financial audit teams and the companies we audit, you will provide practical insights that support high-quality audits and strengthen trust in technology-enabled processes.

You will gain exposure to a wide range of organisations, from large global businesses to smaller entities, developing both technical and professional skills. This role offers a unique opportunity to understand how technology supports business objectives. It will enable you to communicate complex technical concepts in a clear and impactful way. By helping ensure the integrity of financial reporting, you will contribute to building confidence and trust in organisations and the wider market.

What kind of work will I do?

For 12 months you’ll be a key part of our business – training and working alongside our first-year graduates. You’ll do real work from day one, using what you’ve learnt at university to help solve complex problems. You’ll help us push boundaries and learn skills that will set you up for an exciting career.

As part of the IT Audit team, your responsibilities will include:

• Stakeholder management: Working in teams and building relationships both within the IT specialist team as well as financial audit and beyond.
• Risk Assessment: Identifying and evaluating risks associated with company’s use of technology

• Reporting: Communicate findings clearly and concisely, contributing to audit documentation, reporting, and stakeholder discussions.
• Innovation: Contributing to the continuous improvement of our audit processes, enhancing efficiency and providing greater insights to the companies we audit.

Where will I work?

We operate a hybrid work model, combining office and remote work arrangements. While client-facing roles may require on-site visits, your meetings will be a blend of virtual and in-person interactions. Your initial induction and final assessment will be conducted in person, providing valuable networking and relationship-building opportunities.

How will I develop?

You’ll receive a comprehensive induction and training plan. And we’ll assign you a buddy, so you’ll always have a friendly face to turn to. There will be regular check-ins with the wider team, who’ll support and encourage you every step of the way.

As an IT Specialist, you’ll learn how businesses use technology to help them achieve their objectives and how different organisations deal with risks. You’ll also learn to talk about tech-related matters in a way that everyone can understand.

If things go well, you might even be offered a position on our Graduate Programme. Offers are made based on your placement location, so we encourage you to think carefully about where you want to start your graduate career at Deloitte when applying.
