Deloitte's UK Financial Services Internal Audit Practice provides a range of high value Internal Audit services to leading financial institutions, including but not limited to Banks, Brokers, Insurers, Investment Managers, Investment & Pension Funds and Private Equity businesses. Most of our UK Financial Services Internal Audit Management Team have held senior positions in the UK's leading Internal Audit functions.

We have a large dedicated Financial Services Internal Audit teams spread across UK locations and this, together with our links to the wider Financial Services practice, allows us to combine specialist Internal Audit skills and capabilities with relevant in-depth industry knowledge and experience.

We pride ourselves on our ability to provide first-class support to our clients by bringing real insights and experience and by building long term strategic relationships with them.

Our core services include the following:

• Outsourced Internal Audit Services (provision of full Internal Audit function to a firm);
• Co-sourced Internal Audit Services (working jointly with in-house client Internal Audit teams to support delivery of their annual plan through specialist insight or resource augmentation);
• Reviews of the effectiveness of Internal Audit functions;
• Advice and training on methodology and financial services subject matter; and
• Advice on development and implementation of governance, risk and control frameworks.

The key to delivery of a successful internal audit service is the provision of insight across a range of subject areas. We regularly work with specialists in many areas – including Information Technology, Risk Management, Cyber Risk, Prudential Regulation, Financial Crime, Credit Risk, Conduct Risk and Treasury – in order to both add value to our clients and transfer skills and knowledge in these areas to our team members.

We encourage consideration of flexible ways of working, both formal and informal arrangements that allow for the best outcomes for our people and our clients. If this opportunity is of interest to you with some flexibility, please do discuss.

Personal independenceRegulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints (e.g., in relation to any financial interests and employment relationships). 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.
