Choose a function before a firm

Part of the Big Four & Professional Services learning and recruiting path. Read the explanation and example, attempt the task, then open the self-check.

Understand

Audit focuses on financial information and evidence; tax on tax questions; deals on transaction risks and value; risk advisory on processes and controls. Read the function and client problem before choosing a path.

Worked example

Audit and data consulting within the same firm can involve very different evidence, workflows and deliverables.

Examples and numbers are educational, not employer questions, live market data or hiring criteria.

Practise and keep your output

Compare four official roles across audit, tax, risk and deals using responsibilities and skills.

Keep inputs and sources, assumptions, steps, results and uncertainties in your own document. Attempt independently before checking below.

After attempting: answer and self-check

Name a distinct deliverable for each. Record only stated credential, language and graduation requirements.
