Job description

The role of an auditor is continually evolving, and as Shapers of the future we are at the forefront of change. While our purpose to bring trust and confidence to society and financial markets remain unchanged, technology, including AI, is transforming how we deliver audits. On the Audit Apprenticeship programme, you'll conduct deeper analysis, exercising stronger judgement and provide more meaningful insights for EY teams and clients globally. Along the way, you'll work towards a globally recognised qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) or the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS).,

• Learning from your team as they coach and guide you in your day-to-day tasks.
• Working across a portfolio of clients assigned to you. This will involve a mixture of hybrid working - travelling to client offices, working in the EY office and occasionally from home. It will vary by client and will depend on the requirement of the team.

• Attending EY learning courses to continually learn new skills.
• Regularly meeting your support network including your Career Counsellor, and Student Coach to track your performance and help you progress your career.
