Hello, my name is Yanghua WAN, and I’m excited to be joining the assurance team this coming September. I appreciate the opportunity to connect with you today. Therefore, prior to our session, I have prepared four questions and would greatly appreciate your replies or confirmations.

1. For planning purposes, could you confirm whether our start date is September 5th?
2. Is there an introductory week planned before the formal onboarding process begins? If so, could you share its duration?
3. Are there any specific documents or paperwork I should prepare in advance of the onboarding?
4. When can I expect to sign the official contract?
5. Apart from the route of ICAEW or ICAS, could I choose ACCA for this role?

Hi Oliver, it depends on the Business Unit where you will be based - this should be on your offer letter. If you are aligned to FSO, you will be based in the Canary Wharf in London. If you are aligned to UK&I, you will be based in the London Bridge office! When you start in your induction, expectations in regards to hybrid working will be covered in more detail as it varies per team. It tends to be 2-3 days in the office, and 2-3 days at home.

Thanks so much Mollie. Just a quick follow up, so if I am joining the extended assurance team, I will be in the canary wharf office?
