In addition to IT Audit & Advisory, you will have the opportunity to gain insight into our Financial Audit, IT Advisory, Digital Assurance & Innovation (Daní) and Sustainability teams. Your clients will be in different sectors which will give you the chance to see a lot in a short time. This will give you a broad view of the IT Audit & Advisory profession and will enable you to progress as an IT Auditor with a clear understanding of how different work areas are related and can reinforce each other.
