These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm.

This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.)
with audit clients of the firm, and also prohibitions on certain employment relationships (e.g., you are not permitted to hold a secondary employment role with SEC audit clients of the firm whilst being employed by the firm).
The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process or you can contact the Independence team upon request.
