Internal Audit Senior

Key Job Functions

Audit Execution

• Lead assigned audits from start to finish — planning and scoping, fieldwork/testing, documentation, reporting, and follow-up — in line with IIA standards and internal methodology.

• Independently manage engagement timelines, evidence quality, and working paper standards without close supervision.

• Identify root causes (not just symptoms), assess risk impact accurately, and develop practical, actionable recommendations.

• Apply data analytics and audit management tooling to strengthen coverage and efficiency across engagements.

Reporting & Stakeholder Management

• Present audit findings directly to process owners and management, defending conclusions and negotiating realistic, risk-appropriate remediation actions.

• Prepare clear, well-evidenced audit reports for review by the Head of Internal Audit & Risk.

• Build credible working relationships with process owners and country teams to enable efficient fieldwork and honest engagement.

Audit Planning

• Contribute to the development of the annual risk-based audit plan, including scoping proposed engagements and estimating resourcing.

• Flag emerging risks identified during fieldwork for inclusion in future audit cycles or escalation to the Head of Internal Audit & Risk.

Follow-Up & Continuous Improvement

• Track closure of agreed management actions, escalating overdue or inadequately remediated items.

• Support development of audit methodology, templates, and standards as the function matures.
