CA Fresher - Associate - Technology Risk Assurance

The posting does not set out a list of daily tasks. What it does make clear is the position itself: an Associate in the Technology Risk Assurance area at BDO India, meant for a CA fresher.

It also describes how the work is done. You would deal with both clients and colleagues, so presenting your points and communicating clearly are part of the job. Day-to-day use of MS Office tools is expected as well.

The title is addressed to CA freshers, and the experience range is 0 to 1 years. The job is onsite in Mumbai, so you should be able to work from there.

• Certification: CISA or an equivalent certification is preferred. It is a preference, not a stated must-have.
• Working style: the post wants someone who works well in a team, takes initiative and focuses on results.
• Communication: good presentation and communication skills, and honesty with clients and colleagues.
• Tools: comfort with MS Office.

• If you hold CISA or a similar certification, put it near the top of your CV. If you are still working towards one, say so plainly.
• Revise the basics of IT general controls and statutory audit, since these are the areas tagged for this role.
• Keep one or two short examples ready of a time you worked in a team and finished something without being chased.
• Practise explaining a technical point in simple words, aloud, in under a minute. Presentation skills are asked for.
• Brush up on Excel, Word and PowerPoint so you can speak confidently about how you have used them.
