Our business areas
 
  • Audit
    As independent auditors, our purpose is profound and impactful - our work underpins the accuracy of the financial information that shareholders use to make economic and investment decisions. It's not just shareholders who rely on financial information produced by companies – customers, employees, and regulators are other key stakeholders. Ultimately, we serve the public interest through the trust and confidence we bring to financial reporting.

    Our audit team works with some of Australia’s biggest household names, rising stars, and leading multinationals across a range of sectors including financial services, manufacturing, real estate, pharmaceutical, media, tech and energy.

    Leveraging tech like never before, our audits go beyond the audit opinion and give our clients and their stakeholders insight and comfort as they look back, but also look ahead.

  • Assurance
    Our Assurance business provides confidence, challenge and advice to clients on some of their most important issues. Whether it’s for things like complex financial reporting, finance operations, M&A, governance, regulatory, ESG, or algorithm assurance, it’s your input that will help give our clients the assurance they need to make decisions and act. Our work is powered by innovative technology and a collaborative team spanning a range of expertise, including accounting, conduct, governance, compliance, technology, and operations.

  • Enabling Areas
    Our Accounting Technical and Quality & Risk functions focus on continuous improvement by providing timely, practical assistance and technically sound advice to ensure our practitioners are supported with the right tools and resources at the right time.

The Analytic Solutions team is at the heart of the Audit & Assurance Digital Strategy across Deloitte Asia Pacific. Our team of data technologists, designers, developers, and management consultants coupled with our proprietary data analytics platform powers next-generation offerings to help clients make better data-driven decisions.

We're absolute data nerds and love working with numbers and large data sets (the more unstructured, the better). Data brings us together; our difference inspires creativity and our focus on culture is our adhesive! ​
