    Description

    About the department

    The Quality Assurance Department (QAD) is an independent department responsible for performing an annual programme of testing to provide assurance that key controls are designed and operating effectively, ensuring compliance with external regulations and standards, and internal procedures. This is largely achieved by performing reviews of completed engagements and providing feedback to engagement teams, service line management, technical and training departments, and other parties, to drive continuous improvement in managing risk and internal controls, and promote quality and excellence in the delivery of services. QAD is respected within the firm as being important, influential and knowledgeable.

    We operate a flexible hybrid-working model in the team, focusing on being where we can most effectively provide support to the service lines, which can occasionally involve travel to other UK-based offices.

    • Leading and delivering the audit assurance activities in respect of listed audit engagements
    • Completing assurance reviews of more complex and technically challenging engagements
    • Supporting other QA reviewers with completion of audit assurance reviews
    • Identifying and delivering feedback to relevant parties, including examples of good practice, to support continuous improvement in audit quality
    • Working with the Quality Assurance Director and other QAD team members to identify and implement changes to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the department

    About the candidate

    • ACA/ACCA/CA qualification
    • A strong manager or above with broad experience working on large corporate and listed audit engagements
    • Outstanding oral and written communication skills with the ability to articulate complex issues in a concise and understandable manner
    • Good technical knowledge of audit and accounting standards
    • Ability to work independently as well as a team player, able to collaborate with others to achieve shared goals and objectives
    • A challenging and sceptical mindset coupled with a high attention to detail
    • A proven quality track record/ experience
    • The ability to bring and share new ideas and challenge current working methods in an appropriate manner
    • Audit regulatory experience is preferential but not essential

    Diversity and Inclusion at RSM
    At RSM, we want to create a strong sense of belonging so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures feel they can bring their true self to work. Our clients come from all walks of life. We aim to achieve that same diversity of background, experience and perspective in our own teams, so that we can genuinely understand our client's needs. Diverse teams bring a broader range of ideas and insights to work. That's why we're working together to ensure our firm's principles and processes support a firm culture that embraces difference and strengthens inclusion.
    At RSM we work hard to create an environment where our people can make a difference - to themselves, their career, their teams, and to the success of our firm and clients. We support all our people to work flexibly, to manage their family and other responsibilities alongside their work commitments; we believe this is key to achieving an inspiring and fulfilling working environment.
