What level / background?

Senior associate. Been doing it risk for 3 years for all public companies and have seen minimum 2 transactions per year for each audit. Also have about a year experience in pre/post ERP, RPA, emerging tech assessments for a large spin off

Im just unsure how transferable it risk is to IT due diligence or how to spin it towards the area since my experience has been unique (I think) in a way that I have been through multiple transactions even though from an audit lens

IT Risk is a great place to come from, assuming you have a strong understanding of the varying levels of maturity across IT functions and the “so what” for the business. Further, being able to understand IT risk as a spectrum instead of good/bad should lend to better discussions during transactions.

Which office? I'm going for the same lol

Former IT audit background - in deals now if you want to chat.

hi all, currently have two offers:

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Thanks in advance!
