Technology Risk Assurance

Ideas People Trust

We are BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm that provides advice and solutions for entrepreneurial organisations to navigate today's changing world.

Our team works with companies that drive Britain's economic engine - ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high-growth businesses that fuel the economy. We directly advise owners and management teams leading them.

We'll broaden your horizons

The Technology Risk Assurance (TRA) team sits at the heart of our Audit practice. We leverage deep technical expertise to evaluate risks associated with technology use for businesses in various sectors - from Consumer Markets, Retail, Technology Media & Telecoms, Natural Resources, Energy & Shipping, and Financial Services.

We use data analytics procedures to look for trends, anomalies, and understand IT and business processes while identifying risks. This exciting and interesting work may include evaluating risks around emerging technologies such as Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics Process Automation (RPA), and cyber-related risks.

As part of our TRA team, you will receive all the support needed to reach your potential and build technical skills.
