Graduate opportunities

Here's also a little more about what these service lines do and what we are looking for:

Audit & Assurance

Auditors perform the valuable role of being a trusted intermediary between the providers of business information and the users of that information. As the largest part of our firm, our Audit and Assurance professionals examine a company's financial statements and attest their reliability. As a graduate, you will get to know your client's business and be involved with assessing the processes and controls used to produce the financial statement. You will learn and understand business drivers, associated risks and their potential effect on financial statement accounts.
