Career options

In Audit & Assurance, we have roles available for Graduates, BrightStart Apprenticeships, Entry-Level Apprenticeships (Newcastle only) and Summer Vacation Scheme and Industrial Placements.

We audit some of the most influential multinationals, innovative start-ups and biggest household names across the globe. If you join our Audit team, you’ll work with lots of senior people, whilst gaining insight into how their organisations operate and the economic and industry issues that matter to them. 

 

We have full-time opportunities available in Audit on our BrightStart Scheme, which is a Level 7 apprenticeship suitable for college leavers, as well as on our Graduate programme. On both programmes you’ll be studying towards either the ACA or CA qualification with either ICAEW or ICAS, depending on which country you are located within. Both qualifications are globally recognised and are designed to expand your knowledge of a wide range of technical areas. They’ll help you confidently perform at work and develop professionally throughout your training agreement. 

Professional Qualifications 

Having the opportunity to complete a prestigious qualification such as the ACA or CA at Deloitte is invaluable: it will set you up for success in your career at Deloitte and beyond. It will be challenging and will require you to be resilient as you’ll be required to split your time between core business work and studying towards your exams. Ultimately this commitment will be rewarding and represents a significant investment in you.  

 No fees 

Deloitte covers the cost of the qualification – including the courses, exams and student membership fees over the entirety of the programme: 3 years for Graduates and 4 years for BrightStart.  

Deloitte also provides you an allocation of paid study and exam leave as part of your programme of study, although you will be expected to study in your own time too. 

Quality tuition  

There is no requirement to have a background in accounting or finance. As long as you meet our academic entry requirements, you're not expected to have any prior knowledge of accounting as it's all taught to you by our Training Provider. We have high pass rates from students with degrees and qualifications from all disciplines and backgrounds.  

Extensive support 

There will be a wide range of support available to you whatever your learning style. You will be mentored by people in your team who have been through the qualification themselves, and also have access to a range of academic support and resources from our training provider; not just from their expert tutors within the classroom, but also online and outside of the classroom too.  

As part of the Apprenticeship you will also receive dedicated coaching and support.  You’ll be able to reflect on how you’re developing and putting your newly acquired knowledge into practice on a day to day basis.  

Whilst the support you receive will be extensive you’ll need be self-motivated and willing to put the time in to go the extra mile to ensure success in your exams.  

We work across all parts of the audit business to assess the risk around IT systems that generate financially relevant information. You’ll learn how IT supports businesses and the key processes involved. Our purpose is to serve the public interest and help give confidence that the financial information going out is correct. As part of your graduate opportunity, you’ll have the option to study towards a MSc qualification in Digital and Business Risk Management. Other relevant qualifications, including the Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), are also offered during your career with us. More details can be found on our Technology page.

Delivery of our Audit work is increasingly dependent on the understanding and challenge of large datasets, and the reporting produced from them. Our Data & Analytics team within Audit empowers our Audit teams, and Assurance teams, to analyse, understand and test the data and models we receive from the entities we audit. We work across all industries, and we drive usage of our growing library of tools and insights across our audit portfolio more over time, to transform our Audit delivery. We use a powerful technology stack, including scripting, visualisation, automation, and data science tools, which we continuously invest in and develop in the UK and globally.

More details can be found on our Technology page.

We’ve created a Centre of Excellence in Newcastle (SACC) to support our internal teams throughout the UK. The team here provides remote support to all the Deloitte teams who engage directly with businesses, to help them in completing tasks associated with the audit of accounts. It involves working closely with your colleagues and will help you to develop an understanding of company accounts and why they’re so important to get right. Roles are available for entry level apprentices who are leaving school. You will be completing your Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) Level 4 apprenticeship whilst working in our team and become a subject matter expert in company accounts. As part of this, you will attend college to study AAT level 4 with your peers. As well as formal and informal on-the-job training, you’ll have a supportive team around you to guide you through your career at Deloitte.
