Systems Internal Auditor (6-9 months contract)

Role Overview

This role blends internal audit knowledge with platform delivery, helping shape how an audit-focused internal system supports control testing, issue tracking, and reporting. Day to day, you will work with audit, risk, compliance, and technology colleagues to turn audit needs into practical system features, automate repetitive steps, and keep workflows and data dependable. Your work matters because it gives audit teams clearer visibility over controls, findings, and remediation progress while reducing reliance on manual tracking and fragmented files.

Key Responsibilities

• Enhance and configure platform features that support internal audit control testing, including test plans, workpaper tracking, evidence capture, and results recording.
• Automate audit workflows such as routing, approvals, notifications, escalations, and status changes so routine steps require less manual intervention.
• Build and maintain issue management capabilities, covering finding creation, ownership assignment, remediation tracking, follow-up prompts, and closure validation.
• Develop audit dashboards, management reports, and MI that show control testing progress, issue aging, overdue actions, and remediation trends.
• Partner with Internal Audit, Risk & Compliance, and technology colleagues to gather requirements, define acceptance criteria, and convert audit needs into practical platform solutions.
• Review existing audit processes and identify where automation, simplification, or better system design can reduce effort, errors, and delays.
• Support testing, implementation, user acceptance, and ongoing enhancement of new platform releases, including troubleshooting and user support.
• Maintain accurate audit data, controlled workflows, and reliable reporting outputs; document requirements, processes, configurations, and changes.

Requirements & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Internal Audit, Accounting, Finance, Risk Management, or a related discipline.
• At least four years of relevant professional experience.
• Hands-on experience with audit management systems, internal audit platforms, or comparable technology solutions.
• Practical exposure to internal audit control testing and issue management.
• Experience supporting workflow automation, system enhancements, or the digitalisation of audit processes.
• Professional certification such as CIA, CISA, ACCA, CPA, or equivalent is advantageous.
• Experience creating or supporting audit reports, dashboards, and management information is beneficial.
• Strong understanding of internal audit processes, control testing, risk and control frameworks, audit workflows, issue management, and audit reporting.
• Ability to translate business and audit requirements into workable system solutions.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with excellent attention to detail and comfort working across multiple stakeholder groups.
• Good communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with Internal Audit, Risk, Compliance, and technology teams.
