What is Financial Services Audit?

Financial Services Audit teams play a huge role in preserving the integrity of the global business landscape. As part of the team, you’ll help to provide peace of mind to EY clients by using your analytical skills to give companies, investors and regulators confidence in the validity of financial statements, business-critical information or processes. Your main aim will be to provide independent verification of EY clients' compliance with accounting principles. By doing so, you play an important role in helping businesses accurately reflect their financial picture and, in turn, protecting financial markets.
