    Audit Quality Manager or Senior Manager - Edinburgh, United Kingdom - Johnston Carmichael

    Default job background
    Description
    We operate as a virtual but close-knit team, with most members working remotely from across the UK.

    However you would also have the option of full or hybrid working from any of our offices across Scotland, in Newcastle or in London.

    The Audit Quality, Risk and Technical team provides technical support to the Audit Business Line to ensure that that quality underpins the delivery of audits, thereby playing a key part in mitigating risk to the credibility and reputation of the Firm.

    We do this by producing methodology guidance, support materials and guidance, as well as developing and delivering the technical learning programme for our audit professional (qualified) staff.

    We maintain the firms outsourced audit software, ensuring that the methodology it delivers is current, effective and compliant with Auditing Standards and Regulations, as well as meeting our obligations as a member of our global network.

    AQRT provides support to partners and staff in the form of advice in response to ad-hoc audit and financial reporting queries, as well as undertaking mandatory risk reviews and consultations.

    We are responsible for internal and external monitoring and for ensuring we maintain a constructive relationship with our regulators and our global network.

    We undertake internal quality monitoring at both audit engagement and System of Quality Management level.

    We are looking to recruit an additional Senior Manager (or Director) to join our team and develop our Quality Monitoring capability as we grow to support the needs of our growing Audit Business Line.

    You will play a leadership role, reporting into the Head of AQRT and responsible for the delivery of the Quality Monitoring function within the AQRT team.

    Your primary role will be to take a lead on both external and internal quality monitoring activities.

    In this role you will communicate with a broad range of individuals within the Audit Business Line, including our strategic pillar groups, and our financial reporting advisory, IT assurance and learning and development teams.

    You will have regular contact with the Business Line's senior leadership team including the Head of Audit, and Ethics and Audit Compliance partner.

    Supporting the Head of AQRT in liaising with regulators (ICAS and FRC) in relation to external quality monitoring reviews and supervision activities, including responding to information requests
    Supporting audit teams through external monitoring file reviews, including attending meetings with regulators and assistance with drafting responses
    Managing the network review process, both at engagement and whole firm level
    Undertaking internal quality monitoring (cold file) reviews

    Developing and delivering an ongoing programme to monitor the System of Quality Management in line with ISQM 1 requirements.

    Root cause analysis reviews and subsequent remedial action planning
    Developing and delivering training and other regular communications addressing quality findings and improvement areas

    You will already be an experienced Senior Manager in a central technical and quality function with experience of quality monitoring activities within an Audit Firm – ready to join our team and hit the ground running.

    You will be looking to join a growing team which provides you with a real opportunity to contribute strategically to our continual process of quality improvement.

    You will demonstrate your commitment to quality and be confident in your sound technical competence in auditing and quality matters, while recognising the importance of wider consultation when appropriate.

    You will have a strong sense of ownership and accountability and have a track record of delivering key quality projects.

    You will role model professional scepticism and bring a challenge mindset to interactions with Audit RIs and teams.
    We support our people to ensure they can grow their own way through proactive learning and development.
    At Johnston Carmichael we want what's best for our clients, our people, and our communities. You'll be joining a team that's engaged with its local communities and committed to supporting them.

    If you value enabling leadership, quality, integrity, and a workplace that prioritises giving back as much as you put in, then Johnston Carmichael is the firm for you.

    a personal pension scheme, annual leave, and life assurance, as well as your own personal training and development plan.

    We know that 9-5 office hours aren't for everyone. We support flexible working and also use a hybrid working model. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all communities. At Johnston Carmichael we are committed to diversity, equality and inclusion in the workplace. A copy of this policy will be made available on request.
