Technology Risk Consultant

Technology Risk covers all risk services where EY is providing independent assurance
and the preparation towards assurance to our clients where the assurance can be used
by our clients to build confidence and trust with their customers, the general
market/public, key stakeholders or when regulatory (by law or oversight) or contractually
required. Engagements focus on the assessment and/or evaluation of IT systems and
the mitigation of IT-related business risks. Engagements may be either assurance
(attestation) and/or risk advisory in nature, and vary considerably in size and
complexity.

The Opportunity
All of our services whether assurance or advisory in nature are designed for the dual
purpose of strengthening internal controls and, in so doing, helping to improve IT and
business performance. In addition to assurance-related engagements such as financial
attestation and SSAE 16 engagements, our IT risk advisory services focus on IT
governance and effectiveness; IT program management and assurance; security and
controls of ERP implementations; and business intelligence and information analysis.
