• Assessing the effectiveness of governance, risk management and internal controls
• Carrying out detailed control testing and analysing findings
• Identifying control weaknesses and underlying root causes
• Preparing clear audit reports and practical recommendations
• Following up on agreed management actions and challenging where appropriate
• Supporting risk assessments and providing input into new processes, systems and projects
• Helping improve audit methodology, processes and assurance coverage

• Experience delivering audits through to completion
• Confident communicator who can build relationships while constructively challenging stakeholders
• Strong analytical skills and an ability to get to the root cause of issues
