Effectively scope and plan risk-based audits, determining key risks and controls, and engaging with stakeholders to establish a clear understanding of Group Audit's role and program of work.
Responsibility for fieldwork and testing through information gathering, analysing and evaluating information, and documenting evidence.
Concluding the effectiveness of the control environment, advising management where enhanced controls are required, agreeing the relevant issues, and preparing and issuing reports along with agreed actions.
Ensure audit actions are recorded and then followed up to ensure implementation as agreed, influencing stakeholders at all levels to meet commitments in line with the agreed delivery schedule.
Providing support with improvement initiatives, project work, and providing general advice and guidance on effective risk management, best practice, and company standards.
