The opportunity
Within the professional services environment, appropriate risk management is fundamental to the successful delivery of our client services and promotion and protection of our brand. Within EY, the Risk Management group (which covers audit independence/ethics, conflicts, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, data protection, enterprise and business risk, and other risk and regulatory areas), is responsible for the promotion, protection and support of risk management within the business. The group aims to uphold our business standards, maintain and enhance the value of the brand, and ensure that the firm complies with the external/internal rules and regulations imposed on the firm in relation to the conduct of its business. 

Independence is a concept fundamental to the audit profession and is pervasive in all dealings between EY and its clients. Independence means that EY and its professionals should be free from interests that might be incompatible with objectivity, integrity, and impartiality, both in fact and in appearance.

The Risk Management & Independence team supports our people in managing the risks that arise during our daily working lives.
