You are working as an EY auditor on a financial statement audit.
Assist the team in performing a financial statement audit at FoodCo — a hypothetical client we have worked with for several years previously.
Welcome to the EY organization audit job simulation where you can learn about the importance of the work auditors perform and explore career opportunities in auditing.
Auditors play a crucial role in making sure a business’ financial statements can be relied upon by both the company itself and other stakeholders, which helps inform decision-making around complex technological, environmental and global challenges. EY audit teams use their collective knowledge, skills and experience to deliver audits with independence, integrity, objectivity and professional skepticism. This helps enhance trust and confidence in businesses and the capital markets – a commitment to serving the public interest.
But being an auditor isn't just about crunching numbers. It’s also about learning to use leading-edge technology such as artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled capabilities. Because audits are powered by data-driven insights, you’ll learn about advanced analytics, which helps to focus on high-risk areas and detect data anomalies. At the same time, you’ll gain valuable transferable skills to grow your career and leadership proficiency.
Joining an EY audit team also means joining a supportive community but with the ability to forge your own path. You'll work with business leaders, learn skills in emerging areas such as sustainability and have opportunities for mobility and global rotations, helping you prepare to become a future business leader.
The breadth of career opportunities is vast. Being an auditor with a base of technical skills and broad business acumen is a stepping stone to an exciting career whether you stay within audit at the EY organization or move externally as an executive or an entrepreneur. The global EY organization is committed to helping you achieve lifelong learning to evolve in a dynamic world, and provides access to structured learning curriculums including the Audit Academy, EY Tech MBA, EY Masters in Business Analytics or EY Masters in Sustainability.
So, if you're ready to dive into a career where you could make a real impact, enhance your skills, build relationships, and forge connections with colleagues and representatives from external organizations, joining an EY audit team may just be your perfect fit!
During this simulation, you will have the chance to complete tasks that mirror the work of an EY audit team member, including considering potential impacts on audit strategy, discussing testing approaches and results with team members, and interacting with representatives from companies audited by EY teams.
We hope this simulation provides a great resource for you to upskill and strengthen your resume as you explore your career options at the EY organization.
