How we make a difference

Ernst & Young is a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services. We aim to have a positive impact on businesses and markets, as well as on society as a whole.

Developing people
We attract talented people from diverse backgrounds. Our emphasis on inclusiveness matters more than ever today. As business challenges become more complex, we need to call upon the widest spectrum of views and opinions to address them. Our open culture offers continuous personal and professional development. Because when our people grow and succeed, your company benefits.

Strengthening communities
We help to improve regulatory standards and company reporting models. We promote transparency in financial reporting and use our influence to strengthen global corporate governance. We encourage entrepreneurship, which leads to growth, jobs and prosperous communities. And our people share their business skills and knowledge with others in their communities.

Great place to work
We can’t be a great organization without great people. We work in a culture that puts our people first. We strive to help everyone achieve both their professional and personal goals in an environment that fosters growth and provides continuous opportunities to develop new skills and knowledge. And our efforts have been recognized through a number of prestigious awards.

Corporate responsibility
Consistent with our values, we strive to embed socially responsible thinking and action into all our firm activities. Our people share a sense of purpose that starts with the work we do for clients and extends to the communities where we live and our impact on the environment. Our firm also has a long-standing tradition of philanthropy through our support of higher education institutions, civic and cultural agencies, and non-profit community organizations.

A decade as one of FORTUNE's
best companies

For the 10th consecutive year, Ernst & Young is among FORTUNE magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For," ranking 57 overall on the prestigious list and 18 among large companies. The distinction reflects our ongoing commitment to creating a culture that helps our people reach their full potential and fostering a flexible and inclusive work environment that supports people both personally and professionally.

A blueprint for diversity inclusion

As part of our commitment to an inclusive workplace, Ernst & Young is dedicated to creating an enabling and supportive environment for people with disabilities. EY provides a variety of accommodations and sponsors a people resource network we call AccessAbilities. Those efforts are featured in CAREERS & the disABLED magazine, which earlier this year recognized Ernst & Young as one of the top 50 employers for people with disabilities.

Ernst & Young honored for workplace equity

Ernst & Young has once again been recognized as one of the Top 50 Companies for Diversity by DiversityInc. magazine. Our inclusiveness programs support career development, workforce planning, communication, and leadership accountability for minority professionals, with an emphasis on education, mentoring and networking opportunities. Our firm also ranked No. 2 for Asian-Americans; No. 5 for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people; and No. 9 for people with disabilities on the 2007 list.

Responding to victims of disaster

Following the 2004 tsunami in Asia, Ernst & Young Indonesia developed the EYe Toolkit to help Not-for-Profit organizations establish proper systems of accountability and control when managing humanitarian aid. A U.S. version of this resource, adapted in response to Hurricane Katrina, recently profiled as a best practice example by the Business Roundtable, provides recommendations for managing budget preparation, inventory management, reporting, and more.
