This is an exciting opportunity in a new role within the System of Quality Management (SoQM) Technical team within the newly established SoQM Centre of Excellence during a period of significant change for the SoQM. 

QC1000 is a new quality control standard from the PCAOB to be implemented by 15 December 2025.  While the assessment of the incremental requirements of QC1000 and the differences from the current UK / International Standard ISQM1 are being led globally, further detailed assessment of the differences and implementation of additional changes will be required at the UK level and are not only likely to result in the implementation of new or amended controls, but also in system and/or operational changes.

Feedback from our regulator, the FRC, and requirements of QC1000 have prompted the firm to consider the acceptable timeframe for completion of SoQM activities, and what processes and support are in place to ensure Process and Control Owners meet those expectations. 

The SoQM Technical team provides technical support to the business by performing the iterative risk assessment process alongside stakeholders, ensuring controls have been appropriately designed to address the risks, providing SoQM training and guidance to the business and responding to regulator requests.
