Description
The use of data and analytics (D&A) is now a core part of the way the National Audit Office (NAO) do their financial audits.
EY will provide direct Data & Analytics support to NAO for Financial Audit Data & Analytics (FA D&A) activities, specifically with regards the design of future specifications for FA D&A tooling. We have ambitions to build out our D&A functionality to cover Risk Assessment analytics over GL, and also analytics over other Sub-ledgers. We are seeking specialist support to help further develop our design thinking in these areas.
Lira Sukumaran ("resource") will be providing data & analytics design support for the period from 7th March to 31st March. During this time, the following provisions will apply:
• The above mentioned EY members will work with the NAO team and their work will be supervised by the NAO.
• EY shall continue to deal with any management issues (including all those matters under the resources employment contract requiring action, investigation and/or decisions by EY) for the entirety of the engagement period
• The NAO shall direct the activities of the resources but as soon as reasonably practicable shall refer any management issues concerning the resources that come to its attention to EY
• Both parties shall inform the other as soon as reasonably practicable of any other significant matter that may arise during the engagement period relating to the resources or their employment
• EY shall procure that the resources shall notify Peter Smithson if the resources identify any actual or potential conflict of interest between the NAO and EY during the engagement period
• Both parties shall inform the other as soon as reasonably practicable if there is a need to end the agreement early. Notice of at least 10 working days will be provided
The audit will be performed within the NAO's audit tools and NAO laptops.
All EY personnel will provide at a minimum a certificate of BPSS clearance and / or SC clearance before engaging with NAO or getting involved with audit activities.
