We're BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions businesses need to navigate today's changing world. We'll broaden your horizons The work of our Audit teams is essential, not just to BDO, but to the whole economy. Working within a range of companies, from start-ups to FTSE350 companies, in multiple sectors, they verify the accuracy of our clients' financial statements for stakeholders, ensuring the stability and authenticity of the financial market. It's not just analysing numbers though; Audit teams really get to know their clients. That means you'll spend every day working as part of a team, often on clients' premises, working with key individuals to understand their financial performance, business systems, culture and risks. The graduate programme offers unparalleled exposure to a range of sectors and the potential for international secondment. Audit means much more than crunching numbers. Auditors are integral to keeping the UK financial system safe for investors and the public. As auditors we use smart questions to get to know our client's businesses, and maintain scepticism throughout the audit process to ensure we remain impartial. At the completion of an audit we can provide constructive feedback to our clients helping to improve the business's operations, whilst also helping shareholders to have a full understanding of a company's financial performance and business risks. As the majority of the audit process involves us working in different teams, with people at varying stages of their career, we're fortunate to get to know our BDO colleagues really well and often become life-long friends.
