Our Audit & Assurance department is the largest of our service offerings at Azets, with many clients of varying sizes across a broad range of industries.
The service we provide has a meaningful impact not only on our clients and the communities we serve, but also the wider business and audit community.
As an Audit Associate, you will play a key part in the success of our Audit & Assurance department. This will begin with you building your auditing skills and knowledge by providing assistance on statutory audits, which will involve applying your expanding technical knowledge to real life scenarios, problem solving, analysing data and presenting your findings.
This role will involve a combination of working in the local office and at client premises. Collaboration with fellow associates, audit seniors, managers and partners will be an essential part of your role. The tasks you can expect to work on with the team will evolve and develop over time, but in the first year of your role you can expect to be involved in the following:
- Attending internal audit planning meetings
- Working with clients to gain an understanding of their business and internal processes to aid planning for audit testing
- Performing regular audit testing to provide assurance over financial statements
- Working with clients to obtain specific audit evidence required
- Using our audit technologies to analyse client financial information, checking for areas of risk and error
- Attending client stock counts to verify physical assets
- Reviewing financial statements prepared either by the client or Azets team
- Communicating regularly and effectively with clients, both in person and virtually
- Sending queries to clients to provide evidence of amounts and reconciling them with expectations
- Scheduling regular catch-ups with both the client and your team to ensure you are working towards the audit signing deadline
- Communicating with your seniors when there is a difference between evidence provided by the client and data stated on the financial statement
