"ESG criteria are our key priority for the upcoming years, supporting our clients in establishing their ESG frameworks and the corporate sustainability reporting (CSR), either helping them strengthen their framework or assuring their external reporting. "

– Marika Nevalainen, Head of Audit & Assurance 

In an environment of increasing complexity, uncertainty and an accelerated pace of technology-driven change, our role is to bring stability to the market. Our core objective is to carry out consistently high-quality audits and to provide premium assurance services. We aim to provide trust, for our colleagues working at Deloitte, our clients and all our stakeholders. 

The operating environment has changed drastically, and our mission is to foster confidence in the market during these uncertain times. We support our clients in navigating through economic downturns. Our objective is to deliver a superior quality experience that serves the public interest and inspires our people. We are known to be a partner that works on enhancing the performance of our client’s organisations and encouraging them to rethink their strategies and approaches. As a result, our clients excel in their respective industry markets, surpassing the average.  

Diversity is our strength  

Our aim is to create a work environment where ambition, expertise and work–life balance harmoniously coexist. In this way, we can achieve our goal of being the leader in delivering top-notch quality and offering our clients the very best of Deloitte, all within a sustainable workplace culture. This is an environment that places increasing value on diversity of thought and interdisciplinary solutions, playing directly to our strengths. Our focus is on attracting, developing and retaining a wide range of experts. We have 12 different nationalities working in our Audit & Assurance services in Deloitte Finland – 46% of our professionals are women. 

The fact that each year we offer dozens of trainees positions to graduates from universities carries considerable social significance. Our trainees have a front-row opportunity to acquaint themselves with the field of auditing and further develop their skillsets.  

Empowering sustainable reporting 

The EU directive, the CSRD, set to come into effect in 2024, primarily requires large companies to annually report on their environmental and societal impact. Throughout the previous year, we have worked alongside our clients, aiding them in getting ready for their sustainability reporting obligations. Concurrently, we have been building the expertise and knowledge base of our auditing team in this area. Looking ahead, we are committed to applying what we have learned to new ways of working and, thereby, moving towards becoming an even more sustainable, agile and innovative business.
