Assistant Manager, Regulatory Assurance - Compliance - Insurance, Audit & Assurance

Our Assurance practice encompasses skills across regulation, risk, controls and finance with a deep analytics capability. We harness these to provide Assurance to those charged with governance, serving the public interest. Working in Assurance means you will have an opportunity to work alongside leading experts, as we help build and enhance trust between businesses and the public, by responding to emerging issues and protecting the public interest.

To be resilient, businesses must be ready to respond to current and future challenges and opportunities. They are increasingly expected to be more transparent with their reporting, to drive trust and confidence in the market, and protect the wider public interest. Assurance builds, maintains and develops confidence. We provide independent assurance by assessing the risks and underlying processes, providing conclusions as to which risks are being managed and mitigated in line with the business' appetite for risk.

Deloitte's Regulatory Assurance team spans both Insurance and Banking and Capital Markets and specialises in helping senior leaders navigate the regulatory landscape, strengthen compliance arrangements and build confidence in how regulatory obligations are understood, embedded and evidenced. The team has built a reputation for providing pragmatic assurance, as well as innovative technology solutions, positioning itself at the cutting edge of emerging regulatory trends by working closely with the UK regulators (FCA and PRA), industry bodies and clients and conducting its own market research.

We provide regulatory and compliance expertise to projects alongside colleagues in Deloitte's other service lines to ensure they have a holistic understanding of clients' regulatory obligations, compliance frameworks and conduct, governance and control environments. From our team we support compliance framework reviews, regulatory change, compliance monitoring, governance and control assessments, remediation programmes and Target Operating Model design.

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.

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).

Deloitte is known for its flexible working environment and the support it offers to new parents. Our hybrid working policy allows you to work flexibly through our hybrid working policy. Depending on the requirements of your role, you'll have the opportunity to work in your local office, virtual collaboration spaces, client sites and remotely.
