Our clients are seeking to work with a professional services provider who can deliver people with the right skills to help identify and address their growing portfolio of risk. That's why Ernst & Young created Risk Advisory Services (RAS) ' a platform that offers a single global approach to meeting clients' full spectrum of risk management needs. Within EY's RAS practice, the Manager participates in and supervises multiple client engagement teams and other related activities. Engagements focus on helping clients assess, improve, and monitor business issues related to the application of information technology. Engagements vary considerably in size and complexity but all aim toward helping to improve IT and business performance.
