    Hi. I have 3 years of work experience before. But all experiences are irrelevant to assurance. I just finished my master's courses in finance. Am I eligible to apply for the role?? As I know, some of the graduation programs don't accept application who has work experience before.

    We do not require any work experience to work in Assurance. You simply need an honours degree in any subject, completed before you join the graduate programme. There are other questions being answered on here about what Assurance involves in the day to day role to see if it's something you may be interested in!

    Hi Petya, I think communication and being able to build relationships with clients is key, as this is what you will be doing most days. Also an eagerness to learn, as assurance is a role where you learn every single day!

    Hi Nicole, you're more than welcome to apply! If you are re-sitting an exam, it should be fine for you to state your predicted grade on your application form, however please bear in mind that you will be required to submit evidence of your final grade once this has been obtained, and any drop in grades means that your offer will be subject to review.

    Hi Petya
    I defiantly agree with Zahra. As we are a client facing firm, it is essential to be able to communicate effectively with the client. Everyday is different so being able to adapt to change is critical as well.
