Central - Tampa - Assurance Staff - Winter 2023
Our clients trust our skills and knowledge, and that’s why they often turn to us first when they reassess internal control processes, evaluate the pending shift to international reporting standards, or even when they face major litigation or regulatory action. We are the largest of four service lines at EY and in the global Ernst & Young organization and proud of it! We audit more than 29% of the Fortune 1000, America’s largest US companies.
The largest part of Assurance – our External Audit team – examines and attests to a company’s financial statements through financial and internal control audits. You’ll learn about financial statement processes, key business drivers, associated risks and their potential effects on financial statements. And you’ll have the opportunity to work in diverse global teams with some of the world’s largest companies as well as up-and-coming entrepreneurs across more than 25 industries. Our External Audit practice is organized into two main areas – our geographically- based regional practices, which provide services to a client base, depending on location, within the Automotive, Clean-tech, Consumer Products, Government & Public Sector, Health Care, Life Sciences, Media & Entertainment, Mining & Metals, Oil & Gas, Power & Utilities, Private Equity, Real Estate, Retail & Wholesale, Technology and Telecommunication, among others, and our Financial Services Office (FSO), which provides services to a client base within the Asset Management, Banking and Capital Markets and Insurance space. This structure is a differentiator in the market and allows candidates to choose a financial services industry preference early in their career – a unique opportunity within the public accounting industry.
A career in our Assurance practice will provide you the opportunity to develop a working knowledge of the objectives of an audit. You will assist and collaborate with team members as you respond to client requests.
