Advisory - Business Modelling & Analytics

Introduction

Our market leading Advisory Corporate Finance function operates in both public and private markets, and is made up of several teams, from Business Modelling to Mergers & Acquisitions. Whatever your interest there is an opportunity for you to learn and grow.

What we do

Our Business Modelling Group is a market-leading, dedicated centre of excellence which draws upon the full service capability of the firm, making use of technical modelling and analytical toolkits to provide innovative, analytical support to help our clients make better decisions and achieve their goals.

Tactical Information Management Environment or ‘TIME’ is one of our recent exciting innovations. A web-based financial information management and calculation tool that provides real time interactive outputs that can run scenarios on demand, it’s accessible anywhere and at any time. This platform is more robust than Excel, has powerful workflow management capability, and can be deployed in a fraction of the time.

Another taster of what we do is the development of DICE. Using technology to reduce the time to calculate big data, our Distributed Intelligent Calculation Engine is a process that takes a large set of data, splits it into lots of smaller tasks, and executes calculations on multiple virtual computers. The remodelled solution means we can generate almost instant forecasts and gain new insights through interactive data visualisations.

What we do

In short, financial crime is a hot topic and it is a key priority for regulators, authorities and governments globally. In recent years, regulators have started to impose tougher penalties for breaches of regulations, involving fines in the millions to billions. Organised crime groups, money launderers, terrorists and fraudsters are increasingly using sophisticated international networks and financial systems to move or store funds and assets or commit fraud.

Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable due to the nature of their businesses and the volume of transactions and client relationships they manage. Deloitte provides a unique financial crime solution to complement our clients’ existing capabilities, combining investigative skills, economic crime knowledge, and technical expertise with cutting-edge technology, advanced data analytics, and artificial intelligence capabilities, tailored to our clients’ most complex financial crime issues. Our work also involves enabling clients to sustainably enhance how they manage financial crime risks and to navigate key operational challenges.

This is our specialist Financial Crime advisory team, consisting of two key skillset groups:

  • Our Legislative & Regulatory Advisory experts who help clients evaluate and enhance their financial crime risk management framework, providing bespoke subject matter expertise and execution capabilities to provide concrete and actionable advice to our clients; and
  • Our Infrastructure & Operations experts who help translate key financial crime requirements into effective business designs by assessing companies’ business models in relation to regulatory changes and their strategic objectives. Their work also involves reviewing the effectiveness of controls, process improvements, and implementation of organisational design.

Through the Associate Development Programme you will work across both teams and will gain key skills required for both Legislative & Regulatory Advisory and Infrastructure & Operations propositions. This pathway also includes studying for a professional qualification through the International Compliance Association’s Diploma in Anti-Money Laundering.
