Internal Auditor

Role Overview

This auditor runs the complete cycle of operational, financial, and compliance reviews. The role starts with understanding the process and its risks, moves through testing and evidence gathering, and ends with a report that tells management what needs attention. The auditor also follows up to confirm that agreed fixes actually happen, helping the organization keep its controls strong and its compliance obligations on track.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of audit engagements across operations, finance, and compliance, using IIA standards as the guiding framework from kickoff to final report.
• Build risk-focused audit programs and test plans, then execute testing efficiently so the annual audit plan stays on pace.
• Judge whether controls are designed well and working in practice, then document control gaps, inefficient steps, and risks that are starting to emerge.
• Work with process leaders to shape control improvements that are realistic, cost-conscious, and supportive of day-to-day operations.
• Keep an eye on regulatory shifts, industry changes, and evolving business activities, and adjust audit coverage or management advice when needed.
• Write workpapers and reports that are clear, evidence-backed, and focused on root causes, business impact, and next steps.
• Use basic data analytics to test larger populations and spot trends when the situation calls for it.
• Share findings with process owners and management, then track and verify that corrective actions are completed on time.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or a closely related area.
• CPA, CIA, or another relevant professional certification.
• Two or more years working in internal audit, external audit, or risk management.
• Working knowledge of internal control concepts, risk assessment approaches, and audit standards such as COSO and IIA requirements.
• Strong analytical mindset for breaking down complex processes and spotting risk or wasted effort.
• Facility with Microsoft Office and hands-on experience using audit software or data analytics tools.
• Ability to explain audit findings and recommendations clearly to stakeholders at different levels.
• Highly organized and detail-driven, with a track record of managing multiple deadlines and priorities.
• Personal commitment to integrity, professionalism, and continuing professional development.
