Internal Auditor

About this role

Finance owns planning, control, statutory compliance and the books — across several countries and currencies.

Test whether the controls we say we have are the ones we actually operate, and report it plainly. The role only works if you are willing to be unpopular occasionally.

We employ in multiple jurisdictions, earn in some currencies and pay salaries in others. Payroll accuracy and statutory filing are not negotiable, and the audit trail has to hold.

Primary responsibilities

• Plan and run internal audits across the business on a risk basis
• Test controls rather than reading about them, and document the evidence
• Write findings that are specific and rated honestly
• Follow up on remediation and confirm it, rather than accepting an assurance
• Report to the audit committee independently of the functions being audited

Skills required

Day to day this role works with Reporting, Internal Audit, Controls and Risk.

• Chartered Accountant or equivalent with four or more years in audit
• Four or more years in internal or external audit
• Risk-based audit planning
• Control testing with documented evidence rather than an assurance taken on trust
• Findings written specifically and rated honestly
• Remediation follow-up and verification

Preferred

None of these are required. They are the things that would help, and a strong application is regularly missing all of them.
