Job description

Advisory Services is a fast-moving, high-growth service area with huge potential. It offers variety, challenge, responsibility and the opportunity to realize your leadership potential.

Our Information Technology Risk and Assurance team delivers world-class information technology advice as part of our broader risk and business improvement services by helping clients leverage technology to make IT more efficient and manage the security risks associated with running IT operations. Information technology is a key enabler, and we’re integrating information technology into our Advisory transformation engagements. We provide services such as financial audit information technology integration, third party reporting, information technology risk advisory, information management and analysis and information security.
