Our risk-based audit plan will also provide you the opportunity to develop audit programs for evolving risks and new audit areas. This will involve partnering with audit team members and cross-functional teams to evaluate areas of governance and risk, make valuable recommendations on controls, and influence change.

  • Manage audit programs based on an aligned assurance model, partnering with other assurance providers to reduce assurance fatigue and increase coverage
  • Assist with enhancing the internal audit methodology to increase overall efficiency and quality of internal audit delivery
  • Stay up to date with relevant emerging trends and industry practices to proactively identify potential risks or areas for improvement
  • Participate in regulated entities governance forums (such as Boards and Risk Committees) to discuss assurance, challenge management, and identify emerging risks
  • Provide guidance and support co-sourced audit staff, promoting a culture of continuous improvement 

You'll need to have:

  • Professional qualification required, e.g., CPA, CA, CIA, CISA
  • 8+ years of relevant audit experience, preferably as a lead auditor in a relevant industry, such as, large global technology firm, large financial services organization or in a Big 4 Accounting firm
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills (e.g., persuasion, influence, conflict resolution) with the ability to effectively communicate with individuals with diverse backgrounds
  • Strong knowledge of internal controls, internal controls framework and risk standards (e.g. COSO, ISO, NIST etc.)
