Your opportunity

Discover, investigate, influence. Our sharp, analytical minds are relied upon to ensure that Deloitte operates safely in an increasingly complex market and regulatory environment. Are you up to the challenge?

Your role

The Analyst in this role will be based in Cardiff and work within the National Accounting and Assurance department (NAA). This division of the firm is responsible for a variety of quality, risk, regulatory and compliance projects and support activities.

A vacancy has arisen in the audit excellence team within NAA, for a dynamic and flexible individual with strong analytical, communication and IT skills (particularly MS Excel) to help meet the increasingly high demands placed on this busy, exciting and innovative team.

The audit excellence team is focused on making it easy for our audit practitioners to do the right thing – helping them achieve the highest standards of audit quality and effectiveness through the timely provision of audit guidance and support resources and consultation on audit execution.

The team’s main responsibilities include updating and maintaining audit policies, guidance, content for our audit software and supporting guides and practice aides in accordance with relevant auditing standards and regulation and communicating any changes to the audit practice.

We work with global and North South Europe colleagues and in external forums to respond to regulatory consultations, influencing the development of auditing and assurance standards and relevant regulations both for the UK and internationally.

In addition, our audit excellence team works on a number of key projects to support the audit methodology aspects of learning programmes, transformation and innovation activities, responding to regulatory reviews and risk issues and the development of new audit related tools and technologies.

Underpinning all of these activities is also a focus on inspiring people – both through making audit work more rewarding to our practitioners and through challenging people in the Audit Excellence team to increase their auditing skills.

There are opportunities in this team to gain relevant qualifications.

Responsibilities

Tasks will include:

  • Project management support for the audit excellence team in the critical North South Europe project areas of consultation system deployment and enhancement, internal control initiatives and global software system content development
  • Day to day operation of controls within our risk and control framework and projects to support the continuous enhancement of this framework
  • Maintaining systems to monitor and deal with regulatory and business requirements;
  • Liaising extensively with internal customers in the UK and across Deloitte North and South Europe;
  • Providing partners and leadership with information needed on which to base decisions;
  • Collating, manipulating and analysing data quickly and efficiently, mainly using Excel functions to produce reports required by the business and its Regulators and using the data to proactively drive change in key areas of the business;
  • Review and refresh information held on existing entities we audit;
  • Contributing to ad-hoc project work supporting audit quality, risk management and regulatory compliance.

The role is expected to grow and evolve rapidly both as the National Accounting and Assurance department expands in Cardiff, and in response to regular changes experienced in our operating environment. Additionally, individuals who demonstrate sufficient capacity and commitment in their primary roles will be given the opportunity to contribute to other projects, thus aiding their personal development.

Your work, your choice

At Deloitte we believe the best impact is the value we add, not the hours we sit at our desk. We carefully consider agile ways of working, both formal and informal, that allow for the best outcomes for our people and the entities we audit. Please speak to your recruiter about the working pattern that works best for you.

Location: Cardiff

Work pattern: This is a permanent opportunity. The role can be worked on a full-time or part-time basis. Hybrid working pattern is offered for this role (in the office 1-2 times a week)

Our team members work a variety of agile working patterns. Tell us what arrangement works for you and we’ll try to accommodate.

Your professional experience

Our analysts come from a wide range of backgrounds, sometimes with little or no prior experience of financial services. What connects us is our enquiring minds and our ability to deliver a great service. We are looking for:

  • Excellent research and analytical skills combined with good judgement and effective decision-making capability.
  • Skilled communicators with strong interpersonal abilities at all levels.
  • Enthusiastic team players that can also be relied upon to solve problems on their own.
  • Flexible-multi-tasking: This is a dynamic role requiring the ability to work to tight deadlines with competing priorities.
  • Discretion: you will be required to sign an enhanced confidentiality agreement and will be subject to certain investment restrictions.
  • A high level of IT user competence, particularly in Microsoft Excel and databases.
  • Working effectively in diverse teams with an inclusive team culture where people are recognised for their contribution.

Your Service Line: Audit & Assurance:

In an industry best known for looking back, Deloitte looks beyond.

As the leading experts in Audit & Assurance, we help build and enhance trust and transparency between businesses and the public, by responding to emerging issues and protecting the public interest. Our expertise covers audit and assurance services across all sectors, enabling stronger systems of quality control and risk capability. We help companies, investors and the general public make more informed decisions by adhering to the highest standards of independence, professional objectivity and technical excellence.

Innovation is key for us, underpinned by audit quality. At Deloitte you will be joining a diverse team of experts capable of delivering meaningful and durable change for both our clients and our profession.

The National Accounting and Assurance (NAA) community is an overarching identity for a number of teams, including Accounting and Corporate reporting, the Quality Corporate Reporting Centre of Excellence (QCR), Audit Excellence Audit Quality & Risk management inspections, Risk and Regulation, Regulatory Compliance and Learning, EQCR & PSR and client service technology team. In NAA we are dedicated to supporting audit teams in delivering excellent service and maintaining audit quality. We are based in London and Cardiff but serve the whole firm nationally. The team is made up of a mixture of permanent staff and secondees from the audit service line.

Regulatory Compliance and Learning

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 for which we must provide regulatory returns to maintain our licenses to operate and ensure our Partners and Employees are appropriately upskilled to work on a variety of engagements. The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process.

Personal independence

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. This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm. The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process.
