Our clients range from leading multinational companies to start-ups, from family businesses and governments, to charities and private individuals. Within financial services our clients cover industries within banking and capital markets, private equity, insurance, and consumer finance.

As part of our CoE you’ll utilise cutting edge technology to work closely with our Audit teams from across the country, improving the quality, efficiency, and innovation in the more complex areas of an audit. Our CoE teams primarily focus on Pensions Assets and Liabilities, Share Based Payments and the Audit of Tax. 
  • Digital Audit - We're a specialist team within our Audit practice that combines a mix of technology, data, business and accounting expertise to how we audit clients across all industries. We’re constantly investing in audit technology and the skills of our people to keep up with the rapid pace of change and to deliver trust that is deeper, broader and more forward-looking. 
  • Digital Audit Advanced Analytics - The DA³ team is part of the larger UK Audit practice. We’ve invested significantly in innovative technology to understand how our client’s processes, technologies and systems operate in order to provide a fair view on how they address their risks. 

  We do this through the implementation of robotics, AI, machine learning and advanced analytics tools, leveraging the best technologies currently on the market. 

  What you’ll gain

  Audit, Centre of Excellence and Digital Audit (PQ) - During our three year programme, you will also study towards the Chartered Accountant (ACA or CA) qualification. 

  Digital Audit (non-PQ) - You’ll follow a structured technical training curriculum which will allow you to develop the deeper technical and data skills required as a technology auditor. What you get out of it is the opportunity to build the skills and experience that can open many doors to you, taking your career in whatever direction you choose. This programme does not offer the ACA qualification. If you’re interested in studying for your ACA please apply to our Digital Audit PQ pathway which has a more financial focus and includes the opportunity to study towards the Chartered Accountant (ACA) qualification.

  What you’ll need 

  You'll need to have or be on course for a 2.1 degree or above in any subject. We determine whether you're on course for a 2.1 based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study.
