The audit & assurance methodology team forms part of our firm’s Audit Quality Support Team (AQST). AQST delivers the foundations for audit quality in the form of methodology, policies, reviews, coaching support, procedures, templates, guidance, and training.
AQST plays a vital role in supporting our audit practice. It forms part of the firm’s system of quality management; is responsible for designing methodologies and tools that ensure compliance with auditing and ethical standards and other requirements applicable to audit and assurance engagements; and supports the audit service line in its delivery of engagements that comply with the firm’s methodologies and related risk management policies and procedures.

As an Audit Quality Senior Manager, you will form part of the audit & assurance methodology team. You will specialise in the development of methodology and other supporting tools, templates, and guidance to support our audit teams, with particular focus on audits of entities in non-financial services sectors.

• Lead on, or support, the delivery of UK audit methodology projects, including the development of tools, templates, and training.
• Respond to technical consultations from the audit service line on the application of the firm’s audit methodology, and quality assure consultation responses prepared by others in the team.
• Respond to ad hoc queries from the audit service line on methodology related matters.
• Perform reviews of technical training content developed by the audit learning and development team.
• Keep up to date with audit and assurance developments to consider how the firm can best adapt proactively to changes on the horizon.
