Broader Assurance Services (BAS)

At Risk and Regulatory, we advise clients in the financial sector and non-financial companies. You will work in a multidisciplinary team with backgrounds ranging from accounting and finance to econometrics and physics.

There are several areas of expertise within the Risk & Regulatory team. Depending on your background and interests, you will, for example, support our clients in the interpretation and implementation of bank financial legislation (e.g. Basel III/IV, CRR I/II, CRD IV, IFR/IFD, Solvency II, statutory and other reporting), the implementation and/or improvement of internal control frameworks, or the improvement of risk management capabilities. You may also have to provide support to our internal audit teams or in the implementation of new accounting standards. And you may also have to provide audit support to our core audit colleagues, particularly in the audit of IFRS 9 figures and capital ratios of our bank audit clients.

Risks and rules are constantly changing and becoming increasingly complex. Do you enjoy assisting clients and love diving into complicated issues and sifting through the risks? If so, come and talk to us about working in our Risk & Regulatory team.

Our ESG team has three focus areas: assurance, climate & reporting, and sustainable finance and responsible investment. Depending on your background and interests, you will work in one or more focus areas. This is what you will be working on:

• Calculating customers’ carbon footprints and supporting them in setting reduction targets.
• Implementing European rules on sustainability disclosure in the financial sector.
• Supporting clients in measuring and reporting ESG insights according to accepted governance, environmental and reporting standards.
• Benchmarking clients with best practices in the market and with competitors.
• Developing responsible investments and translating these high-level strategies into investment decisions and processes, for example in ESG due diligence and ESG assignment processes.
• Analysing climate-related risks and opportunities that an organisation may face under various climate change scenarios.
• Assisting clients in defining an ESG vision and ambition and translating it into their strategy and a roadmap for implementation and transformation.
