We know it’s not just about the numbers. Often, we let the technology take care of those. It’s about the creative and collective thinking of our people. That’s where the true insight is found. We’re redefining the future of audit. Come join us. Assurance Businesses need to be resilient and transparent in their reporting to build trust and confidence. Assurance practitioners play a key role in achieving this through independent review and challenge of management’s views on a range of regulatory and reporting requirements, whether financial, operational or compliance in nature.

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships).

“I assumed the culture would be very corporate; however, I have worked with people who have different personalities and approaches to the way they work. We do have a clear brand, but everyone is encouraged to be themselves.” -Alice, Audit and Assurance
