GDS Consulting - Technology Risk Consultant (IT Audit)
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.
