Programme overview

Technology is at the heart of most organisations. As well as opening a world of opportunities, technology exposes organisations to a variety of risks. We work with clients on a range of projects to help them identify gaps and manage these risks. In doing this, we help clients protect their reputation, ensure regulatory compliance, and increase trust with external stakeholders.


What you will be doing

  • Interacting with our clients to understand their business, providing exposure from the onset to senior client stakeholders.
  • Engaging with our clients to develop a comprehensive understanding of their Information technology landscape, assess the associated risks and the corresponding mitigating controls. This encompasses an in-depth analysis of their application landscape, the extent of cloud integration, the deployment of artificial intelligence technologies, cybersecurity controls and the effectiveness of their IT governance frameworks.
  • Facilitating end to end project management and delivery for client engagements, collaborating on the project scope and budget, executing and documenting the work undertaken, and articulating our findings and conclusions to senior client stakeholders.
  • Acquiring proficiency in fundamental IT audit principles, including IT General Controls, IT Application Controls, data migration procedures, and testing of data completeness and accuracy.
  • Learning key Technology Risk related regulations, standards, and frameworks.
  • Get involved with industry research and client thought leadership and support business development initiatives to help the organisation grow their client portfolio.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
