A graduate career in Risk Assurance

The explosion of data in recent years has changed the way businesses operate. The Data Analytics and Assurance team helps clients improve their critical decision-making by harnessing the power of data and data analytics. We work with businesses from all industries, giving assurance to various aspects of their data. This includes data extraction, quality assessment and enhancement, governance and visualisation.

Businesses need to be more transparent, accountable and responsible than ever before. Good governance and compliance with regulations and legislation is essential. We help our clients design, build and assess processes, controls and tools, and mitigate their risks in this area. This involves identifying opportunities for performance improvement, protecting reputations, mitigating threats, and designing and implementing optimised control environments.

Our Internal Audit team provides our clients with comfort and assurance around the risk and control environment in their organisations. We obtain a 360-degree view of our clients’ businesses to assess their strategic, operational, regulatory, financial and technological risks from every angle. We bring the right people and skills to a particular challenge or subject area, which can include areas such as cyber and data analytics. Our recommendations ultimately help them improve their controls and process efficiency and achieve their strategic and business objectives.

Today’s business environment is more complex and connected than ever before. IT platforms are a fundamental foundation for organisations, and stakeholders need to be able to trust these systems. Our IT Risk and Assurance team tests our clients’ IT systems and processes and helps ensure that their data is accurately processed and properly reported. We also identify IT risks and design appropriate governance and risk management processes, and our recommendations shape our clients’ broader strategic response to cyber risk. Finally, we highlight our clients’ current capacity to manage threats and identify target areas for cybersecurity investment.

Building trust among customers and stakeholders is more than good business practice—it’s an important source of competitive advantage that sustains long-term growth. The Trust and Transparency Solutions team explore every angle of our clients’ organisations to help them increase clarity and establish trust in all aspects of their business relationships, processes and controls. Using our skills in technology, regulatory compliance and accounting, we help clients improve their bargaining power, achieve economies of scale and forge better and longer-lasting partnerships.
