The Opportunity:

As an Associate with Technology Assurance team, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with leading global companies and large conglomerates across various sectors, such as financial institutions, government and public sector and Fintech firms.

Our independent position and assessment capabilities provide clients with a candid and reliable overview of their risk landscape and the controls in place. You will be involved in assessments and attestation services that will directly support C‑suite discussions and important business decisions regarding compliance, cost and quality of our clients’ risk management programs.

Technology Assurance assists our clients with the following services:

• IT audits: This service involves performing IT‑related procedures in support of financial statement audits, integrated audits, internal audits or other form of attestation engagements. We examine management controls within an IT infrastructure by evaluating IT general control design and operating effectiveness and testing application controls. Other assurance services include third‑party reviews such as System and Organisation Controls Reporting (SOCR) and Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP), and expanded services such as pre‑implementation assessments, readiness engagements and cybersecurity assessments as well as integration with other Assurance competencies.
• IT Asset Management: ITAM identifies and mitigates risks — such as financial, contractual, regulatory and information security associated with the use of software — and helps optimize software costs.

We will support client with the delivery of resilience build and assessment programs, integrating foundational resilience disciplines such as business continuity, crisis management, and scenario testing.
• Data Privacy: Data protection is important, since it prevents the information of an organization from fraudulent activities, hacking, phishing, and identity theft. Any organization that wants to work effectively need to ensure the safety of their information by implementing a data protection plan.
• Data Analytics: Data‑driven analyses are performed to help identify areas of risk and to enhance process and technology controls, improve IT operations and compliance processes as well as to achieve cost efficiencies. This includes the development of analytics test procedures, statistical models and algorithms to client’s data to identify instances of process or control gaps, occurrences of unauthorised or non‑compliant activities within the organization and cost optimization opportunities.

Your Key Responsibilities:

As an Associate within the Technology Assurance team, you will:

• Participate in multiple client engagement teams and other related activities. Engagements focus on the assessment and/or evaluation of Information Technology (IT) systems and the mitigation of IT‑related business risks. Engagements may be either assurance/other assurance (attestation) and/or extended assurance in nature and vary considerably in size and complexity.
• Serve as a fieldwork team member to assist clients in employing proper information systems, resources, and controls to maximise efficiencies and minimise risk.
• Work with client personnel to analyse, evaluate, and enhance information systems facilitating the business internal control process, and will assist clients and other Technology Assurance professionals in performing information technology control and security engagements.
• You will also play a central role in leveraging data and analytics tools to deliver high‑quality audits by:
• Working with the audit teams to devise and execute detailed analytics plans based on the broader audit strategy.
• Utilizing analytics tools and techniques, analyze large volumes of data to identify anomalies and patterns that suggest potential areas of audit risk.
• Integrating audit analytics findings into the overall audit approach and to present these findings to the client.

Skills and Attributes for Success:

• Project management skills.
• Strong written and verbal communications skills and presentation skills.
