Risk Services

What we do

The most successful companies recognise that while risk is part of doing business, managed intelligently it can deliver positive results. That’s where we come in. 

In Risk Services we work closely with our clients to identify risks and opportunities, build mitigation or contingency plans and develop future strategies that directly impact on their daily operations, ultimately leveraging risk to their advantage. 

Our authentic value proposition is founded on:   

   • Facilitating a risk intelligent environment in which our clients conduct business

   • Providing comfort about risks so that  clients can operate effectively 

   • Advising and shaping our clients ability to adapt to disruption. 

Business Risk

C-suite and Boards are asking hard questions about risk in order to better understand and manage in today’s challenging environment. Deloitte’s pioneering work in transforming Internal Audit by integrating analytics, consulting and other services with the internal audit function is a novel approach which sets us apart. We help organisations meet their performance objectives by offering recommendations to improve operations and assist clients with enterprise risk and compliance activities.

We do this by assessing, analysing, and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of governance, financial and operational control processes.

We are rapidly increasing our market share in selected industries due to this innovative approach and dedication to service excellence.

What you’ll be doing

We work at the coal-face of organisations so you’ll get a good understanding of the inner workings of your clients, what they do and how they do it. To do this you’ll often be out of the office, working onsite with our clients. If your clients aren’t local, you can expect some inter-state and potentially some international travel.

Once with the client, you will analyse how functions within the business work, whether this be interviewing client staff, analysing large volumes of data or conducting observations of significant processes; you then identify what can be improved and propose practical solutions back to the client, most likely to management or the board.

Through the nature of our work, we often partner with other divisions to deliver an end-to-end service so you’ll soon be networking across the firm.

Team environment

The majority of the work you’ll do in Risk Services will be 1-2 week engagements with a small team. It’s a great way to build your networks - a new client will generally mean a growth in networking of 10-15 people.

Our management team will provide you with the flexibility and independence you’ll want but they are approachable and supportive at the same time. You will belong to a counselling tree and be assigned a counselling manager and partner.  They will be both your guidance through performance assessments as well as trusted advisers on your career.

Clients

Since a lot of work we do requires discretion we can’t tell you too much about the clients we work with. What we can tell you is that due to the type of organisation that can engage a Risk Services team, we often work with many large and well-known publicly listed companies, including more than half of the ASX 200, as well as government agencies and financial institutions. There is so much variety you can gather a range of different experiences, or concentrate on a particular niche to grow your personal brand. 

Who are we looking for?

You’ll need an interest in digging deeper, in questioning, in interviewing, in searching for more. We want people who not only find problems, but propose relevant, practical answers to solve issues. The ability to untangle complex processes into simple steps will quickly become an everyday skill.  

One of the key attributes we look for is the ability to cope with variety and change. You’ll be faced with the challenge of having to constantly adapt what you’ve learned to different situations and clients.
