Digital Audit

In our Digital Audit Advanced Analytics programme you’ll develop a valuable skill set including data extraction, data engineering, data analytics and visualisation as well as getting training in technology such as Python, Alteryx, Power BI, SQL, Process Intelligence and Machine Learning. You’ll also gain a foundational understanding of accounting, financial reporting, object-oriented programming, database management and application development. You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with clients across diverse industries, ranging from retail to media. This experience will help you develop a robust business acumen and valuable transferable soft skills. As a trusted specialist, you’ll advise senior stakeholders on ways to automate and reimagine audits using your technology skills to improve audit quality and efficiency.

On both pathways you will join our passionate and diverse community of technologists who are driving quality and transformation in audits.

You’ll work with prestigious clients and develop the business and technical skills, knowledge and relationships needed to do well in a career that goes beyond the obvious. You’ll develop real insights into a client’s markets, people and management, as well as its finances and technology.

Our advancements in technology have ensured we're at the forefront of how audits are delivered. Utilising cutting edge technology we’ve developed the ability to stay connected wherever we are. We’ve challenged the assumption that all members of the audit team need to be based in the same place and in close proximity to our clients. Therefore depending on the team you join, you may find yourself travelling to client site or in some of our specialist teams, you may find that you connect virtually with your clients.

You'll need to have achieved or be on track to pass an undergraduate degree or above in any subject. We determine whether you're on course to pass based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study.

In Digital Audit we work with cutting-edge technology to deliver high quality audits. You don’t need to be a technology expert to join though, we’ll provide all the training you’ll need through a combination of structured training pathways and Digital Academies to ensure you have the fundamental technology knowledge and accounting understanding required.

In our team you’ll have the opportunity to work across a whole host of national clients and get hands-on experience early on in your career with a wide variety of industry experience. We have a strong coaching culture that means you’ll be supported throughout your career to ensure personal and professional development. 

You’ll join teams that work together with flexibility, agility and intelligence to solve important problems for our clients. We draw on the breadth of our people’s experiences and relationships to provide clients with a tailored, risk-focused approach to the audit. Our people are passionate about doing the right thing and take great pride in Audit as a profession and in all of the work they do. 

We nurture intelligence, innovation and courage and embrace diversity so that everyone’s voice is heard. Our people think independently and are confident in sharing their point of view. We’re inclusive and create a safe space for others to challenge themselves, each other and management to deliver to the highest quality.

Technology is integral to our audit and underpins our end-to-end audit lifecycle, from risk assessment, supporting our understanding of your processes and controls, testing and how we coordinate and manage our audit globally.

We have committed to invest $1bn globally on our Next Generation Audit programme which will expand and scale our artificial intelligence offerings and help our clients reimagine their business through the power of generative AI. 

As we scale up to launch Next Generation Audit, our team is growing and so across the UK we’re investing an additional £30m annually in training, people and technology initiatives.
