Role Overview
This position sits within the audit and assurance function, where the day-to-day work centres on testing financial records, verifying that internal controls are actually operating as intended, and reporting findings that help the organisation spend public or shareholder funds responsibly. The holder works across departments rather than inside a single accounts desk, following transactions from requisition through payment and flagging weaknesses before they become losses. Because the role carries a professional accounting or audit qualification at its entry point, the output is expected to stand up to scrutiny from external auditors, oversight bodies and the finance committee.
Key Responsibilities
- Review accounting records, ledgers, payment vouchers and bank reconciliations for accuracy, completeness and compliance with applicable financial regulations.
- Carry out routine and risk-based audits of departments, projects and cost centres, documenting the procedures performed and the evidence obtained.
- Assess the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls, including approval hierarchies, segregation of duties and asset custody arrangements.
- Verify procurement and expenditure transactions against budgets, work plans and approved thresholds, noting any irregular or unsupported payments.
- Prepare working papers and draft audit queries, observations and recommendations for review by the head of the audit unit.
- Follow up on previously raised audit recommendations to confirm whether management has implemented the agreed corrective actions.
- Assist in compiling periodic audit reports and summaries for presentation to management and the relevant oversight committee.
- Maintain confidentiality of audit findings and support external auditors or inspectors by availing records and explanations when required.
Requirements & Qualifications
- Must have passed CPA Part III, or CIA Part IV, or hold a Bachelor of Commerce degree with an Accounting or Finance option combined with CPA Part II or CIA Part III.
- A valid certificate in computer applications from a recognised institution.
