Assurance teams

  • Audit

    Play a huge role in preserving the integrity of the global business landscape, by providing peace of mind to organisations by using your analytical skills to give companies, investors and regulators confidence in the validity of financial statements, business-critical information and processes.

  • Climate Change and Sustainability Services

    Help organisations understand business and regulatory threats and opportunities in social, ethical and environmental factors. Explore and execute commercial transactions, monitor performance and assure public disclosures on progress.

  • Digital Audit

    Work with a team of digital and innovative professionals who focus on applying current and emerging technologies, and a data first approach to enable us to help deliver more efficient and insightful, technology enabled Assurance products and services to EY clients.

  • Financial Accounting Advisory Services

    Support an organisation’s financial function by enhancing decision-making and efficiency, delivering relevant business and industry insights, and help non-audit clients focus on issues that matter to them. 

  • Forensics & Integrity Services

    Help organisations to develop strategies to pre-empt, manage and resolve the risks of business conflict, and assist in investigating alleged misconduct, fraud and non-compliance with regulation.

Careers in Financial Services and Core Services  

  • What’s the difference between Financial Services and Core Services?

    When you apply for a role, you may have the option to nominate a preference to work in either the Financial Services (FS) sector or Core Services.

    In FS, you’ll work with a diverse range of clients within the financial services industry across Insurance, Banking and Capital Markets, and Wealth and Asset Management. Our FS roles tend to have a more specialised focus; however, you’ll work on a truly global scale with multinational companies across Oceania and in some cases, Asia-Pacific. This means working in integrated teams and collaborating across different areas of our business.

    Our Core Services business is slightly different; roles here will give you access to clients across multiple industries (e.g. Construction and Infrastructure, Energy and Media and Telecoms), so you’ll get broad experience as you work across different business sectors. We’re a global business so while you’ll focus on clients within Australia, you’ll also have opportunities to work across other geographies where possible.
