Technology in Assurance

Technology in Assurance

From implementing digital approaches into our global audit methodology to processing millions of transactions into visual analytics solutions, we're embedding innovation and technology into the way we work.

These technologies include Robotic Process Automation and Process Mining which review our audit client’s population data and provide greater assurance, insights and efficiency.

Throughout this programme, you'll receive structured training to upskill in digital technologies such as data visualisation or design thinking to bring into your audit work.

What will you be doing?

• Getting to know our clients, their businesses and how they work
• Testing business controls to ensure they work how they’re supposed to
• Performing an independent assessment of financial information to ensure financial statements are true and fair
• Using hybrid working to spend time on client sites, in the office and at home
• Having a dedicated careers counsellor throughout the programme to help you during busier seasons, development and learning

How’s it structured?

First up, an induction will verse you in all things EY. Before you know it you’ll be working on audits for clients - with lots of help of course!. This includes being your client's main contact and regularly working from their offices (through hybrid working) to strengthen relationships and learn about their businesses.

Along the way, you’ll study and shadow senior colleagues, supported by your own personal careers counsellor who’ll help guide your growth. This kind of exposure to the finance industry, together with working towards your qualifications, will open up many more opportunities within EY and beyond.

The experience you gain will vary depending on the offerings and clients of each EY office location but you'll receive the skills and opportunities to build your own unique career.

Throughout the programme you’ll also be part of the EY graduate community, and you’ll have a buddy to help guide you. They’ll be your first point of call for practical help and guidance. We also provide coaching so you always have access to impartial advice, opportunities and ongoing support.

Starting out in Assurance requires dedication, hard work and flexibility during the busier seasons, but the knowledge and experience you’ll gain will set you on a fulfilling career path.
