Imagine a financial adventure where everyone's a winner, fuelled by our exceptional service and brought to life by the fantastic individuals who work for us. We're a diverse employer with a flexible, hybrid working approach, ensuring everyone gets the opportunity to come to work and be the best version of themselves. What you'll be doing: As an Audit Manager, you'll be at the heart of delivering high-quality audit opinions that drive confidence across the business. You'll take ownership of complex, deep-dive reviews and lead the way in shaping our agile audit and consultancy services. From continuous assurance activities to strategic insights, your work will help us stay ahead. In this role, you'll provide assurance on critical and complex processes, ensuring the business operates effectively and understands the risks it faces. You won't just identify issues-you'll influence how we manage them, helping the organisation make informed decisions and maintain resilience. Perform and lead deep-dive internal audits, aligned to the audit methodology, on complex areas/ processes to provide evidence-based opinions on the control framework, risk management, culture & accountability within budget/deadlines. As part of this, independently apply audit principles throughout all stages of the audit lifecycle with minimal oversight, including: - Planning the audit to understand the key risks, the controls that management are operating and conclude on whether they are appropriately designed; - Develop appropriate tests to conclude on whether controls are being applied effectively; - Understand and explain the materiality of issues and ensure they are substantiated and supported by evidence; - Clearly communicate and explain audit findings and draft concise, well-structured reports for review by the divisional lead; - Oversee the work of junior team members and support their development; and - Build effective relationships with stakeholders Gather business intelligence to assist the Audit Leadership team in targeting areas where agile audits or consultancy projects are appropriate.
