Businesses need to be resilient and transparent in their reporting to build trust and confidence. Assurance practitioners play a key role in achieving this through independent review and challenge of management's views on regulatory and reporting requirements, whether financial, operational or compliance in nature.

Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, including personal independence constraints. The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress, or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
