Five things about working in digital assurance we bet you didn’t know
25/11/20
We have put together five things about working in digital assurance we bet you didn’t know. Read on to discover:
1. We are not auditors, we work with them
We are a specialist team within our Audit practice that combines a mix of technology, data, business and accounting expertise to how we audit clients across all industries. We’re constantly investing in audit technology and the skills of our people to keep up with the rapid pace of change and to deliver trust that is deeper, broader and more forward-looking.
If you don’t have a business or accounting academic background you can still work with us!
2. Techie isn’t a synonym for a digital assurance professional
You just need the right mix of technology expertise and a real understanding of how technology relates to business, you don’t need to be a techie, coder or developer.
Throughout your career you'll learn via hands-on coaching on the job and through a broad range of varied work, whilst acquiring business, personal and technical skills.
3. Creativity is much appreciated
As a trusted specialist, you’ll advise senior stakeholders on how to automate and reimagine audits, implementing innovative technologies, such as Python, Alteryx, Process Intelligence and Machine Learning. For this, a creative mindset comes in handy.
4. We don’t code all day, in fact we don’t code at all
In the beginning of your career you'll be deeply involved in understanding and assessing client’s business processes, both operationally and financially. You’ll also be assessing their IT environment, identifying and reviewing the risks and controls and providing recommendations to further enhance their design and operation.
5. Our work isn’t crunching numbers
We are part of trust and transparency services which leverage renowned frameworks to provide assurance on a variety of subject matters; from business and IT processes, software certifications to emerging technologies. Excel sheets? Nooo…
In addition, you’ll also develop a valuable skill set across business and data engineering. You’ll build a foundational understanding of core concepts, such as accounting, financial reporting, risk, object-oriented programming, database management and application development.
