Senior Consultant 1 - Forensics - Dubai

Join to apply for the Senior Consultant 1 - Forensics - Dubai role at EY

Successful organizations depend on their reputation for keeping promises, respecting laws and behaving ethically to maintain stakeholder trust. EY Forensic & Integrity Services professionals help organizations protect and restore enterprise and financial reputation. We assist companies and their legal counsel to investigate facts, resolve disputes and manage regulatory challenges.
