About the day to day...

An Audit Manager needs to be curious, sceptical, and have a questioning mindset. You need to be adaptable and versatile, with the confidence and composure to engage and liaise with clients and always on hand to support more junior members of the team.

A simple notion, but an irreplaceable part of what makes CP, CP.

In addition to those core values, as an Audit Manager you will be a passionate and determined individual experienced in the field of audit with demonstratable experience:
