Overview

The digital age is bringing rapid change. Businesses are becoming increasingly interconnected, and borders around supply/value chains are becoming increasingly blurred. 

A key part of our purpose is building trust in society. We provide decision makers with information they can trust and give our clients confidence in an unpredictable world. We use cutting-edge technology to provide market-leading services to our clients, both in person and virtually.

Digital Audit will give you an unique opportunity to experience all aspects of the audit from finance to technology. You'll develop a strong understanding of the role that digital plays in the modern day audit and how new technologies are deployed and controlled within business. In practice, you'll understand and test IT systems and controls, deliver technology enabled audits, including the latest on advanced analytics, process control and automation and the use of innovative tools.

At PwC, we recognise the importance of IT Risk Assurance as a key enabler in organisations. Our digital trust professionals work closely with IT, the business, compliance, audit and risk functions to assist businesses to meet their objectives by managing and optimising risks through the use of technology. We offer a three-year graduate program during which you will receive on-site training and valuable real business work experience.
