About the Risk Consulting Public & Social Sector Team

Public and social sector organisations are extremely important, unique and interesting.

As we act independently to our clients, we play an important role in supporting public scrutiny, helping to hold organisations to account, support continual improvement and striving to make society a better place.

Our team provide distinctive audit and advisory services across the following six sectors:

Local government - We are among the top 4 firms providing internal, IT and contract audits as well as anti-fraud and corruption services to local government. The Apex Framework, delivered by Croydon Council and Forvis Mazars, provides local authorities with internal audit resources with over 40 local authorities and companies adopting the framework.

Education – Education organisations we work with include universities, sixth form colleges, academies and schools. As part of the work we do, we complete specialist funding audits, data return and legislative reviews for our education clients, as well as wider audits around the student experience, apprenticeships, safeguarding and governance, to name a few.

Central government – We work with a range of Arm's Length Bodies (ALBs) of government, who deliver and manage public services, provide advice to government and develop regulation. ALBs therefore include organisations with very specific objectives, such as museums and galleries, research institutions and regulators. Internal audits that have been completed by ForvisMazars trainees include managing collections of artworks, assessing the retail operations of gift shops, looking at grassroots sports funding across the UK, ensuring generators are held to account for managing sustainable fuel, assessing the diversity and inclusion aims of regulators and reviewing the arrangements for inspecting railways to help prevent/investigate accidents;

These organisations face various challenges and are very much in the political and media spotlight for the way in which they operate. Our work adds value to the organisations by providing assurance over key areas such as corporate services areas including Finance and HR to more operational areas such as Victim Services, Firearms Licensing and Seized Property.

Charities - We provide internal audit and advisory services to a range of household name charities working across fields such as international conservation, care in the community and medical research funding. It's a fascinating sector and offers you the opportunity to work with people with strong altruistic values and to feel as though you are really making a difference.

Insurance Risk Consulting provides a diverse range of services to our clients in the sector. Predominantly clients are from the insurance market but can also include other financial services entities such as investment firms and payment institutions. The team provides advice and guidance to clients on all aspects of financial services regulation to help them stay compliant, with the vast web of regulations applicable to the sector.

Insurance Risk Consulting has a dedicated Regulatory Compliance team focusing on conduct regulation and everything in the realm of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and regulatory reporting overseen by the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). The FCA's primary purpose is to protect consumers, protect the integrity of the financial system and to promote competition, in the interests of consumers. It expects regulated entities to put the consumer at the heart of their business.

The work is diverse, interesting and purposeful.

About the Forensics & Investigations team 

Are you ready to launch your career in a team that combines intellectual challenge with real-world impact? Our Forensics & Investigations team is a dynamic, close-knit group of over 35 professionals based across four offices in the UK and India. We work on high-profile, complex cases that span two key areas: 

Disputes 

We act as financial and accounting experts, either as Independent Expert Witnesses or Expert Advisors in a wide range of disputes. These typically arise in the context of litigation or arbitration, such as: 

• Post-M&A disputes 

• Investment arbitration 

• Financial reporting disputes 

• Breach of contract claims 

• Professional negligence cases 

Our work is analytical, rigorous, and often central to resolving multi-million-pound legal matters.  

Investigations & Compliance 

We conduct financial investigations for corporates and public entities, including: 

• Fraud and corruption investigations 

• Regulatory and government inquiries 

• Compliance reviews and advisory 

We're the team businesses turn to when things get complex. From helping organisations strengthen their internal controls to guiding them through tricky regulatory challenges, our work is all about problem-solving and impact. One day, you might be supporting a multinational energy company in a multi-billion-dollar arbitration; the next, you could be assisting a local authority with procurement concerns or investigating potential financial reporting fraud for a national regulator. 

No two days are the same, and you'll gain exposure to a wide range of sectors and clients. This means your apprenticeship will be hands-on, exciting, and intellectually stimulating giving you real responsibility and the chance to make a difference from day one. 

This is challenging work. It demands: 

• Strong attention to detail 

• Excellent problem-solving skills 

• A commitment to high standards 

• Good communication skills, both written and verbal. 

• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn. 

But you won't be doing it alone. Our culture is all about teamwork and support. From Partners to apprentices, everyone is approachable and genuinely invested in helping you succeed. You'll learn from experienced professionals who are eager to share their knowledge, guide you through challenges, and celebrate your progress. This isn't just a job, it's a community where your growth matters.
