Vacancy Details

School and College Leaver, Southampton, Assurance, 2015

Reference Number VAC13373 Entry Route School & college leaver opportunities Location Southampton Busines s Area Assurance Business Stream Assurance Intake Year 2015 Start Date Autumn

You can apply for this vacancy all year round, but to avoid disappointment, we'd advise you to apply as early as you can. Vacancy Description:

A position on our School and College Leaver programme is one of the best ways of jumping into a career with PwC early. You'll learn and develop the specialist skills our clients look for and value most and study towards a professional qualification, with support from us all the way.

Assurance is our name for audit and other related services. In this business area we carry out examinations and inspections of our client's data to help them accurately express the financial and non- financial position of their businesses at a point in time. This isn't always as easy as it sounds. Think about all the money coming into and out of a business like a football club or fashion label. Some of it's easy to account for, like clothing in a warehouse or ticket sales. But how do you decide how much a brand is worth or prove how valuable a player is? And how can you accurately reflect the value of these things in the financial statements? An accurate understanding of the health of their finances means our clients can make decisions about what to do next.
