Our AQST plays a vital role in supporting our audit practice. In this role, you will be part of a growing and dynamic team that supports a number of processes - primarily the RCA, Audit Quality Indicators and Post Implementation Effectiveness reviews.

In an audit quality control context, RCA is recognised as a valuable technique to identify the primary cause of audit failures and prevent recurrence of the same issues (whether weaknesses or failings). It is also seen as means of identifying good practiceas part of a continuous improvement programme. The increased importance and visibility of quality reviews linked with the benefits gained from root cause analysis has led the firm to seek a new resource in the AQST team to focus on root cause analysis. Thisrole will have a significant part in delivery of the firm's RCA programme, the development of and reporting on Audit Quality Indicators and performance of Post Implementation Effectiveness Reviews.
