AI Research Digital Audit Graduate Programme (Autumn 2026) - Oxford
Join to apply for the AI Research Digital Audit Graduate Programme (Autumn 2026) - Oxford role at ACCA Careers.
What You'll Do
The Research Lab three-year graduate programme is designed to give you excellent experience in three key strands:
* Research - Ambitious, long-term research projects, creating the novel mathematics that will be the backbone of future audits.
* Consultations - Working alongside the software developers to ensure that mathematical best practice is threaded through all our apps.
* Tools - Creating mathematical solutions to common hurdles and writing software libraries to make these solutions available to the software developers.
You'll learn by doing, with plenty of support along the way.
* Own the Tools strand by taking the lead in understanding developer needs and designing smart mathematical solutions.
* Learn and apply Python, building well-documented, self-contained software libraries that bring your ideas to life.
* Grow your mathematical expertise by diving into new fields and staying current with cutting-edge research.
* Collaborate across the lab - work closely with the lead researcher on both the Research and Consultations strands.
* Help define the culture, practices, and direction of the Research Lab in its early stages.
* Make a real impact using mathematics to enhance audit quality and improve the working lives of our auditors.
* Study with support, with dedicated time to study and a team behind you as you work towards your ACA qualification.
While we have preferred study routes, we’re open to exploring other qualifications, accreditations or apprenticeships of your choice, provided it is relevant to the role. Typically, graduates on this programme are expected to study towards a Level 7 Applied Data Analytics Apprenticeship.

What We Expect From You
As part of your training with us, you'll be provided with study leave to support you in completing your professional qualification. Completing a professional qualification is a substantial commitment and you will be required to study in your spare time outside of your working hours. You’ll also be provided with study leave in the run up to your exams. You’ll need to be focused, committed, and organise your time well to balance all the requirements of being a trainee.
What We Look For
* Skills: A basic understanding of coding languages such as Python, SQL, or R is helpful, but not essential – a willingness to learn is key.
* Mindset: You enjoy solving complex problems, can work collaboratively in a small team, and thrive in an environment that encourages innovation.
* Education: While a mathematics degree is preferred, we also welcome those from diverse backgrounds who have a passion and aptitude for mathematics.
We’re open to flexible academic entry requirements and will consider these alongside your strengths and motivations. We’re looking for curious minds who contribute, spark fresh ideas, and go beyond expectations.
