Programme Description

What does this team do?

As part of Deloitte's growing Forensic and Financial Crime team, you'll use your skills to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, international sanctions, fraud, bribery and corruption. You'll also look at other areas of illicit finance across multiple industry segments, including financial services, energy and resources, insurance providers, the public sector, and many others.


We undertake a wide range of work, working with clients to adapt and respond to new financial crime threats, offering technology advice, as well as supporting with operational set up. Our team brings lots of different skills and backgrounds and is dedicated to assisting clients with transforming and sustainably enhancing their financial crime risk management.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

In our Strategy, Risk and Transactions Advisory teams, we look for people who are curious and eager to learn. If you ask questions, love problem solving and you're willing to get involved, then this could be the team for you.


You'll need to have obtained or be studying towards a minimum of 104 UCAS points (if gained after 2017 - or 260 if before) from your top 3 A-Levels

What kind of work will I do?

This job involves helping businesses stay safe from financial crime (like money laundering or fraud). You'll be working on:

Making things more efficient: Finding better ways for companies to prevent financial crime, using technology and data. Think of it like streamlining a factory line, but for preventing crime. Staying up-to-date: Keeping on top of new laws and rules about financial crime and figuring out how companies can follow them. Technology solutions: Learning about and suggesting new tech to help fight financial crime. Checking for weaknesses: Making sure companies have good systems in place to stop crime, and suggesting improvements. Risk assessment: Working out how likely a company is to be a victim of financial crime. This involves using tools and technology to analyse data. Explaining complicated things simply: Taking complicated laws and explaining them clearly to clients, and helping them create rules and processes to follow. Data analysis: Using data to understand financial crime risks and present this information clearly. This might involve using programs like Excel, SQL, or Python. Essentially, you'll be using technology and your analytical skills to help businesses protect themselves from financial crime. It's a mix of problem-solving, learning new things, and using technology to make a real difference.

If you're in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team.
