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.

Completing assurance reviews of more complex and technically challenging engagements
Supporting other QA reviewers with completion of audit assurance reviews
