At times you may be asked to provide context to your audit findings in the follow-up reviews for respective areas to ensure that audit recommendations raised have been implemented timely. Other related work and/or projects may be assigned by the Head of Internal Audit, Head of Audit Practice and the overseeing Regional Audit Head.

- Demonstrating your ability to efficiently communicate with the audit team and business management in the preparation of audit findings, recommendations, and their risks and impacts as it relates to your well-supported audit work.
- Respecting the time of management through proper preparation and efficient scheduling and conducting of meetings to include: planning, opening, fieldwork interviews, closing and post-audit meetings.
- Challenging and ensuring management action plans properly address the risks as part of a pre-issuance final report review in collaboration with the lead auditor (manager) and the overseeing region head.
- Developing and managing amicable working relationships with Heads of Functions in Business Units and eventually establish full relationship management with local CEOs.
- Making a difference with improving the audit team’s junior auditors’ skill levels through different coaching techniques and enhancing the overall team value through knowledge transfer among colleagues.
- Exploring your talents by contributing to key administrative tasks that support the entire audit department such as the conducting of process risk assessments for annual audit planning and assignment execution as well as the preparation of audit planning memorandum and audit work programs.
What you bring
- A high-energy “can do” attitude knowing that this characteristic is 50% of the job from the start.
- An infectious excitement that will permeate throughout the audit team as you work in close proximity with your colleagues for 2 weeks at a time during audit missions.
- A personality that thrives during international travel assignments where you experience the comfort of business class travel for any flights greater the 5 hours.
- A purposeful confidence in your English language skills whether communicating in writing or verbally.
- A disciplined approach and knowledge of methodologies and interviewing techniques from past experiences in auditing, project management and/or risk management.
- A proven minimum skill level in working with MS-Office applications and the drive to explore other technologies (e.g., data mining, analytics) to enhance the audit process.
