The opportunity
At EY, our Financial Services Assurance Team is fully integrated, working across borders to help clients deal with issues that are critical to their success, and winning new business as a result.
Extended Assurance is part of our Financial Services Assurance Advisory practice and provides ongoing advice and assurance to regulators, management and directors on the governance, processes and controls that are not part of the financial statements audit. We work with clients to provide advice and assurance that an organisation’s business activities, processes and controls are operating effectively and in line with regulations where applicable.
Your key responsibilities
Everything you do will be focused on delivering exceptional services for our clients. You will work in complex multi-disciplinary teams, with responsibility for the overall execution of smaller projects and individual components of larger projects, under the guidance and direction of Managers, Directors and Partners. Your goal will be to help clients achieve their objectives.
As part of the Extended Assurance Client Assets (CASS) team, you can expect to work on the execution of a variety of projects, including:
1. CASS audits - reasonable assurance on compliance with client money and custody asset rules (for larger and more complex regulated financial services firms)
2. CASS one-off reviews - providing findings and recommendations on an area requested by our client, e.g. governance, client money reconciliations, insolvency arrangements
3. Skilled Person reviews - as requested by the regulator
4. Other safeguarding engagements - providing assurance on payments and digital assets which are subject to new and emerging regulations
5. Specialist support - providing technical support to smaller CASS audits and client control functions e.g. Internal Audit
6. Support for other areas of Extended Assurance e.g. Prudential regulation, governance, process and controls
7. Internal projects and initiatives - supporting our quality, risk management, firmwide training and business development
