Assurance
We make sure that businesses are protected from risks that can affect their reputation and performance. As external auditors, we provide confidence that businesses and governments publish true and fair financial information others can rely on - helping to build a better working world.
Technology in Assurance
From implementing digital approaches into our global audit methodology to processing millions of transactions into visual analytics solutions, we're embedding innovation and technology into the way we work.
These technologies include Robotic Process Automation and Process Mining which review our audit client’s population data and provide greater assurance, insights and efficiency.
Throughout this programme, you'll receive structured training to upskill in digital technologies such as data visualisation or design thinking to bring into your audit work.

How’s it structured?
First up, an induction will verse you in all things EY. Before you know it you’ll be working on audits for clients - with lots of help of course!. This includes being your client's main contact and regularly working from their offices (through hybrid working) to strengthen relationships and learn about their businesses.
Along the way, you’ll study and shadow senior colleagues, supported by your own personal careers counsellor who’ll help guide your growth. This kind of exposure to the finance industry, together with working towards your qualifications, will open up many more opportunities within EY and beyond.
The experience you gain will vary depending on the offerings and clients of each EY office location but you'll receive the skills and opportunities to build your own unique career.
Throughout the programme you’ll also be part of the EY graduate community, and you’ll have a buddy to help guide you. They’ll be your first point of call for practical help and guidance. We also provide coaching so you always have access to impartial advice, opportunities and ongoing support.
Starting out in Assurance requires dedication, hard work and flexibility during the busier seasons, but the knowledge and experience you’ll gain will set you on a fulfilling career path.
The blend of college and on-the-job learning has given me a fast-paced and rewarding experience, and there's a lot of investment to make every one of us feel valued. I've thoroughly enjoyed my first year!
