Degroof Petercam Internal Audit strengthens the Bank’s ability to create, protect and sustain value by providing independent, risk-based and objective assurance, advice, insight and foresight to management and governance bodies. It supports the identification, assessment and anticipation of risks and evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of governance, risk management and internal control processes. The department is characterized by its independence, professional judgment, quality-oriented approach and commitment to continuous improvement.
Degroof Petercam is part of Indosuez Wealth Management, the global wealth management brand of the Crédit Agricole Group. In this context, the Internal Audit function operates in a broader group environment, while remaining anchored in a Degroof Petercam internal audit team that interacts closely with the wider Indosuez internal audit community. Audit assignments may therefore be performed both at Degroof Petercam and at Indosuez level, offering exposure to local entities, cross-border activities and group-wide governance, risk management and control topics.
We are looking to strenghten Degroof Petercam's Internal Audit Team with a Senior IT Auditor.
