Playing an integral and visible role within the firm, the DISCoE team is responsible for supporting some of the firm's key audit clients in relation to monitoring, assessing, and documenting Non-Audit services and business relationships and our assessment on their permissibility under various rulesets including PCAOB/SEC, FRC and IESBA.

The role offers a unique opportunity to work with the client service teams across the firm, providing technical advice and guidance to the business including analysing and interpreting the various independence rules to ensure we maintain the firm's independence policies. You will also be involved in responding to internal and external regulators, monitoring our systems of quality control, and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of our processes.

You will have regular exposure to the most senior levels of the firm's management, including high visibility among the senior partners of the business as well as contacts across Deloitte North South Europe (NSE) and the global Deloitte network (DTTL).

In addition, the role offers many opportunities to work collaboratively with other Risk Management groups across the Central Business Services (CBS) and Quality, Risk & Security (QRS) community, including Firm Independence, Business Relationships, Ethics and Conflicts.

Given the importance of independence and the increased regulatory scope and focus, this role offers exciting opportunities for the right person, whilst also broadening an understanding of auditor independence requirements.

• Review Non-Audit services prior to their approval by Partners, followed by subsequent monitoring procedures through to completion.
• Provide advice and guidance to Partners and client service engagement teams in technical consultations across all areas of the business, with support from senior team members.
• Educate and raise awareness of existing and new independence requirements to Partners and professional staff.
• Project management of DISCoE workstreams and other key projects, delivering high-quality outputs within agreed timescales.
• Review requests relating to entertainment, gifts, and donations to ensure compliance with our policies.

Personal independence

Regulation 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.
