Extended Assurance Senior Manager - Financial Services - Leeds or Manchester

EY’s Financial Services practice is currently undergoing exciting change. The business is rapidly growing and we are expanding our teams in Manchester and Leeds. This growth offers great opportunities for learning and progression.

The Opportunity

Our Extended Assurance team aims to provide confidence to our clients and their stakeholders through the rigorous independent assessment of process and controls across industries such as Banking & Capital Markets and Wealth & Asset Management. This is done through the appropriate use of assurance skills, robust audit and other methodologies coupled with industry insight in the Financial Services market.

Current turbulent markets are driving significant changes to all firms’ internal processes, for example through regulatory reporting or demands for better or new management information. Frequently, these new processes will differ from the processes used to prepare financial statements – and it may not be possible to reconcile the two. This disconnect leads to management concern that the output is inaccurate and that this may result in a reputational impact and a fine. Extended Assurance provides assurance around these processes.
