About the department

The Quality Assurance Department (QAD) is an independent department responsible for performing an annual programme of testing to provide assurance that key controls are designed and operating effectively, ensuring compliance with external regulations and standards, and internal procedures. This is largely achieved by performing reviews of completed engagements and providing feedback to engagement teams, service line management, technical and training departments, and other parties, to drive continuous improvement in managing risk and internal controls, and promote quality and excellence in the delivery of services. QAD is respected within the firm as being important, influential, and knowledgeable.

We operate a flexible hybrid-working model in the team, focusing on being where we can most effectively provide support to the service lines, which can occasionally involve travel to other UK-based offices.

  • Leading and delivering the audit assurance activities in respect of listed audit engagements
  • Completing assurance reviews of more complex and technically challenging engagements
  • Supporting other QA reviewers with completion of audit assurance reviews
  • Identifying and delivering feedback to relevant parties, including examples of good practice, to support continuous improvement in audit quality
  • Working with the Quality Assurance Director and other QAD team members to identify and implement changes to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the department

  • A challenging and sceptical mindset coupled with a high attention to detail
  • A proven quality track record/ experience
  • The ability to bring and share new ideas and challenge current working methods in an appropriate manner
