Assurance professionals play a vital role in the economy by providing companies, investors and regulators with expert, independent advice about the validity of financial statements and other critical information or processes. We are looking for talented, capable junior professionals to join our Assurance team and get involved in fieldwork on a daily basis, participating to various audit engagements for our clients in the financial sector (banking, insurance, asset management).

 

Your key responsibilities

 

  • During the first phase of the audit, called the interim audit phase, your main task will be to understand the client’s business. You will interview clients to analyze and assess their business processes to identify and assess the risks inherent/specific to the client’s business and their potential influence on the financial statements, and assess the client’s internal controls.
  • The second phase, called the final audit phase, is focused on the audit of accounting and financial reporting information. You will analyze financial statements using our audit methodology and the information gained during the interim audit phase. You will collect information in order to make an informed decision about the validity of financial statement accounts, such as accounts receivable, cash & banks, fixed assets, revenue, expenditures, etc.
  • You work in a team environment and by sharing knowledge, ideas and providing solutions you bring added value to our clients.
  • You track down and escalate financial & accounting risks and operational vulnerabilities.
