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.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
