What does this team do?
Our IT audit team focuses on understanding the technology systems that businesses use to record transactions and report company results and key metrics. Deep diving into how a business works and identifying risks that may exist to the technologies being used. Once known, we identify and test the controls management put in place to mitigate these risks – across areas like access security, change management, and system operations. We also acquire expert knowledge of the company’s cyber security processes and the use of emerging technologies, such as AI and robotic process automation.
In this technology-focused team, you’ll obtain valuable insight into how large, complex, and high-performing businesses are run, what technology and digital processes enable business success, how this connects to their broader business strategy, and how they manage and control the risks.
You’ll learn to speak ‘tech’ in a way that can be understood, explaining to others the impact of IT issues on the company and its financial results. A highly sought-after skill.
You’ll get to work on a range of businesses from large international companies listed in the FTSE100 to smaller businesses. Each will give you invaluable knowledge and insight.
What skills and academic qualifications do I need?
This program is for university students who are doing well academically and want to test their skills in the real world.
You must be in the penultimate year of your course, or going onto a Master’s, and you need to be on track to achieve a predicted degree classification of 2:1 or above in any discipline.
If you’re fascinated by business and can’t wait to get stuck into complex projects that make a difference, you’ll fit right in.
What kind of work will I do?
This four-week placement puts you at the heart of our business, surrounded by experts who can help you flourish. You’ll do real work from day one, using what you’ve learned at university to help solve complex problems.
In the IT Audit team, you’ll be:
* Speaking directly to clients to understand their business, processes, and controls, particularly with technology. You’ll be tasked with documenting it with our auditing tools.
* Identifying risks associated with businesses and their use of technology.
* Designing and executing testing processes and controls to ensure that they are introduced and working effectively.
* Reporting back any findings through presentations and reports.
* Thinking about how to innovate our processes to make the audit more efficient and give greater insight to our audited businesses.
What’s in it for me?
You will be joining a world-class Summer Vacation Scheme at Deloitte. Whilst being paid a competitive salary, you’ll get a real feel for who we are and if we’re the right fit for your future. You may get the opportunity to complete the program with a Graduate job offer for September 2026. (This will depend on performance and availability and would be for the same office and business area as your Industrial Placement program, so please apply in line with your preferences). All of which is driven by our shared sense of purpose:
* We challenge and we rise to the challenge: We want our people to achieve their potential and are committed to making that happen. We offer you an outstanding training scheme, the opportunity to obtain internationally renowned qualifications, and ongoing investment in your development.

How will I develop?
Hands-on experience is invaluable. That’s why our summer placements are such a great way to explore potential career options and discover what suits you best.
You’ll receive a comprehensive induction and training plan. And we’ll assign you a buddy, so you’ll always have a friendly face to turn to. There will be regular check-ins with the wider team, who’ll support and encourage you every step of the way.
Being trusted with real responsibility will allow you to see what you’re capable of. Not only will this look great on your CV, but you’ll learn transferrable skills, knowledge, and expertise.
If things go well, you might even be offered a position in our Graduate Programme. Offers are made based on your placement location, so we encourage you to think carefully about where you want to start your graduate career at Deloitte when applying.
Not everyone gets an offer straight away, so don’t worry if you don’t. You can always apply in the future and whatever happens, your Summer Vacation Scheme will be a great foundation for your future career.
