You will join Deloitte Norway Risk Advisory, working remotely from South Africa, as a member of our IT and Specialized Assurance team.

As Senior Consultant your passion lies in improving business processes, systems and related controls in an everchanging IT landscape. An IT audit typically evaluates and reports on the procedures and control environment around the IT systems in place within an organization with a view to achieving more effective management of the risks to which the entity is exposed. We do so in the following ways:

• We identify risks and weaknesses, thus enabling the definition of solutions for introducing controls over processes supported by IT.
• We help organisations take advantage of new and innovative technologies and better manage their risks through advisory and managed services.
• We advise on general IT controls and audit application controls within the area of ​IT audit and support financial auditing tasks.
• We provide clients with assurance reports on several topics, including general IT controls in an outsourcing environment, application and process controls, protection of personal data, and the GDPR (e.g. ISAE 3402, ISAE 3000, SOC).
• We support and transform internal audit functions to provide relevant and timely insights to Executive Management and the Board on a wide range of risks.
• We work across functions within Deloitte to provide our clients with the right set of skills.

In your role as participating team lead you are the voice of the client. As Senior Consultant you are expected to give the client a heads-up for possible problems and then act as a sounding board to find solutions. At the same time, you will service and expand your personal network.

How you will make an Impact

You will perform interviews, guide junior staff, and be an important contact person for the client. For IT Audit and Third-Party Assurance (e.g. ISAE, SOC) projects you will test design, implementation and operating effectiveness for relevant controls in the system. In your report you will give your client a good, solid advice that matches the risks of the organization, the people and their work ethic. Related projects can be very diverse and vary from small scale engagements to long-term IT Audit and Third-Party Assurance (e.g. ISAE, SOC) projects.

You will get the opportunity to work both on audit and advisory assignments to provide you with different experiences and learning opportunities. Your responsibilities will increase fast as the learning curve is steep.

What we expect from you in this role

Based on client needs and your skill set and preferences, the focus of your assignments may vary within these topics:

• Analyzing business processes to identify risks and provide advisory for optimization purposes
• Providing deep insights into existing and emerging risks in different processes and organizations through examination and evaluation of an organization’s information technology infrastructure, policies, and operations;
• Performing wide-ranging IT audits and IT reviews to provide our clients with practical recommendations to protect corporate assets and ensure data integrity and alignment with the organization’s overall goals;
• Supporting our clients’ internal audit projects to identify areas for improvement and provide related recommendations to the Executive Management.
