Senior AssociateJob Description & Summary
As a Senior Associate, you'll work as part of a team of problem solvers, helping to solve complex business issues from strategy to execution. PwC Professional skills and responsibilities for this management level include but are not limited to:
There are many reasons why organizations focus on building trust and transparency including:
Service providers - need to be able to demonstrate to their customers that certain standards are being met when supplying their service. Without a formal report to demonstrate this, the service provider’s ability to maintain and grow their customer base is impacted. Examples of where this is relevant include service providers within the asset management industry and software providers.
Regulatory compliance - a company may need to be able to demonstrate compliance with specific regulations in order to maintain their license
Stakeholder pressure/strategic initiative - certain information is being demanded by stakeholders, especially in the area of sustainability. In some cases, disclosing the information is also a key strategic priority for the organisation. The quality of this information is a key concern for those who use it to estimate a company's current and future valuation. Being able to provide independent formal assurance (akin to a financial statement audit opinion) over this non financial reporting information is the preferred method to provide this trust and transparency.
Through a range of assurance reporting services—including SOC 1, ISAE 3402, SOC 2 and Agreed-Upon Procedures—the Trust and Transparency team within RAS can help clients report on their control environment and/or specific data points (eg carbon) objectively and accurately.
Key responsibilities include:-
Identifying areas of growth related to T&T client offerings and completing business development
Developing and maintaining personal networks within PwC and in the marketplace;
Managing a portfolio of T&T audits
Delivering within agreed timeframes and budgets
