If you are applying as a graduate, we can offer a huge variety
of work and a broad range of opportunities. There is also the
opportunity to gain specialised knowledge in areas of particular
interest to you.
AUDIT AND ASSURANCES
Our Audit and Assurance procedures go beyond providing an
opinion on the financial statements. To be effective, assurance
work demands a deep understanding of our client's business, its
goals and the market in which it operates. Once we have that under
our belt, we can step back from the raw numbers of financial
statements to see the real business issues underneath. This enables
us to identify real opportunities for efficiencies and savings for
our clients. Our client base includes a number of medium to large
businesses operating in various sectors in New Zealand and abroad.
The diversity and the nature of our work will provide you with an
excellent understanding of business operations. With our training
and audit experience, you will have unlimited career
opportunities.
We have a "paperless" audit approach and our audit teams are
provided with the appropriate technology to enable this. Staples
Rodway uses sophisticated audit evaluation and analytical tools
that help us identify risk and opportunities facing our clients'
businesses.
We provide assurance work for:
- Due diligence for mergers and acquisitions
- Prospectus reports
- Statutory audits
- Reports on compliance with agreements and regulations
- International financial reporting standards
- Computer system security and computer application controls
- Software licensing audits
- Fraud investigations
If you are applying for an Audit and Assurance graduate
position, you will have completed your NZICA requirements and
exhibit skills that will enable you to engage and work alongside
our clients.
BUSINESS ADVISORY
SERVICES
Our Business Advisory Services team includes top graduates
through to qualified business advisors. Many are skilled business
people in their own right or have extensive experience within
particular specialities. Therefore, while a client's primary
contact with Staples Rodway may handle most of their affairs, they
can (and frequently do) call on the specialist advice of others
whenever the situation arises. As a result, all our clients benefit
from the combined experience of all our different teams, and you
get the exposure to a full realm of different work.
Our clients cover a broad range of New Zealand and overseas
businesses including high net worth individuals through to
multi-million dollar turnover trading clients. As a graduate, you
will have the ability to work closely with, and be mentored by,
directors who have achieved some outstanding accomplishments
throughout their own careers.
If you are applying for a position as a Business Advisory
Services graduate, you will be advising our clients on:
