Graduate roles in Audit and Corporate Finance – Dispelling the Myths!

A Deloitte Perspective

 

We are very lucky and excited to welcome Pete Braddock and Tom Addison from Deloitte, Manchester, to give you an insight into what life is like as a graduate in a big 4 firm.
Anyone considering applying for roles at large accounting firms should really come along to listen and ask questions! 

 

We welcome Pete Braddock back from a very successful appearance last year, that went down really well with those who attended.  One year on, Pete has now been promoted to Senior Manager, and his career continues to flourish – his take on life as an auditor will surprise and inspire you, and hopefully dispel some of the usual myths that audit is somehow boring???

 

Pete is bringing along his colleague, Ellis Kilcoyne, who joined Deloitte as an experienced hire.  Ellis will bring a valuable perspective, as a number of you may consider taking your professional exams at smaller firms with a view to transitioning into a bigger firm further down the line.

 

Tom Addison, formerly of Deloitte, but now a Senior Manager at boutique consultancy firm Dow Schofield Watts, will give you a valuable take on life in Corporate Finance.  What does it involve and where will your career take you?  You may be surprised at the variety of work, the demands of the role, and the career opportunities it presents.

It promises to be a really worthwhile event; it would be great to see a good turnout from you, as we are very proud of our students and want to showcase that in front of the biggest names in the professional services industry!

Topics:

The year of cloud automation

As cloud computing continues to evolve, there is increasing pressure for technology to perform, while improving cost efficiency and, most of all, security. Automation is changing how we work, how career paths progress and is improving business operations. Our experts will explore how automation can change the direction of your business.

 

What will we do with all the data?

As consumers and professionals, we are continuously creating more data. In order to handle the mass data production,

Forbes predicts that 50% of enterprises will adopt a cloud-first strategy for big data analytics in 2018, that will meet the need for greater control over costs and more flexibility than can be achieved in-house.

How secure is your cloud environment?

As cloud evolves, it is becoming an increasingly attractive security target, and both cloud providers and organisations must

continue to work towards maintaining a secure environment. Last year, was a record-breaking year for cyber-attacks.

Amongst the largest were the WannaCry ransomware attack and the WireX DDoS attack. Our experts will cover the key

areas of cloud security to enable you to work in partnership with your cloud hosting provider on your security strategy.

 

The green, green cloud

 

Working towards reducing your organisation’s carbon footprint needn’t be limited to your own office walls, it also extends to your hosting solution. The majority of a data centre’s energy expenditures support data storage, which has resulted in the Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA) promoting new technologies and architectures in an effort to significantly reduce energy usage.

It’s time to get your GDPR ducks in a row

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is the EU’s legislation for the protection of personal data in Europe. The compliance deadline is the 25th May 2018 and is merely months away.

 

Our experts will be exploring how UK businesses can work with their cloud provider to ensure their due diligence under the GDPR pre-Brexit, and how the UK’s own data protection legislation will be changing to facilitate the continued free-flow of data post-Brexit.
