Employer Research Report: Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.
While searching the internet for prospective internships that would give me experience in all aspects of accounting "financial, managerial, tax, and audit "I came across a professional services organization with offices located all over the world. That company was Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, a Swiss-based company that focuses on assisting other companies with decisions involving everything from finance problems within the company to risk management programs for all of the company's employees. After extensively viewing their website (www.deloitte.com), I contacted a friend who recently graduated from the Masters of Accounting program here in Knoxville at UT and who was recruited to work for Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu directly out of college. I wanted to see if what I had discovered on their website had been sugar-coated at all or if everything that the company said it had to offer really was as good as it seemed. Her answer to my question was that Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu really did offer her everything that I had come across during my research and even more.
One of the things that I found most impressive about Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu is their new Vision 2005 Statement that is a women's initiative program and was implemented in 2001. I thought this was a very unique program that would offer a lot of opportunity for women who wanted to advance up to management positions within the company. The Vision 2005 Statement is composed of leadership goals, proportionate representation goals, and monitor, measure, and communicate goals. .
According to the leadership goals of the company, the new class of 2005 at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu wants the number of women in senior leadership roles to be proportionate to the number of women partners, directors, and principals. This set of goals for Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu also includes making the percentage of women principals, directors, and partners who lead client services equal to the eligible percentage of women principals, partners, and directors.
