We focus on driving long-term sustainable improvement in public service delivery and work with government and our stakeholders to deliver better performance. In a nutshell, we help the nation spend wisely. The clients of the NAO are investing in IT systems to address the challenges they face in fulfilling their role. This includes investing in new finance systems and related support systems. These investments mean that, increasingly, the NAO's financial audits are relying on automated controls / IT dependent manual controls and supporting IT general controls, necessitating increased requirements for IT Audit to support the NAO's audits of financial statements. The IT Audit specialist will be joining an IT audit team of 21 including other IT Audit Specialists, IT Audit Managers and Trainees to deliver work across multiple clients covering all areas of the NAO's financial audit client base. The team is led by an IT Audit Director and five IT Senior Audit Managers.

On non-client work: • Given that there are a range of tasks that the candidate could be asked to work on, the candidate must have the skills and experience to be able to move from a client focussed IT audit testing role to an internal material development role. • As the candidate will be engaging directly with and producing client facing and internal facing written material, they must have strong verbal communication and report writing skills. The preferred candidate is likely to be an experienced Senior Consultant or equivalent, with experience of IT audit work, close to promotion to a managerial role, and is capable of working independently and taking ownership of the day to day delivery of all end to end IT audit work.

Development of IT Audit within the NAO • Identify opportunities to improve the quality, efficiency or value of the work performed by the IT Audit Team. • Support the development and training of IT audit trainees and other IT audit colleagues through sharing your knowledge and experience. • Ensure you remain up to date with IT Audit Team and its sub-team activities, initiatives, priorities and those relevant to NAO internal practice networks. • Maintain the relationship between the IT Audit Team and internal FA teams, internal practice networks, and external clients/stakeholders.

Demonstrable experience in Oracle (including Fusion) and SAP (including S/4 HANA) systems would be of particular interest. • An IT audit qualification (e.g. CISA) is preferred, but evidence of strong practical experience of delivering IT audits in support of the financial audit is more important than a qualification. • A formal finance qualification would be an advantage. Attributes Intellectual curiosity, especially about technology and business process related matters. Trusted to work independently as well as co-operatively and collaboratively as part of a team to deliver a team effort and quality work. Drive and determination to overcome obstacles, resistance or challenges in order to achieve goals. Commitment to personal development and keeping technical skills up to date.

Main purpose of the job The National Audit Office (NAO) supports parliament to hold government to account and to improve public services. We focus on driving long-term sustainable improvement in public service delivery and work with government and our stakeholders to deliver better performance. In a nutshell, we help the nation spend wisely. The clients of the NAO are investing in IT systems to address the challenges they face in fulfilling their role. This includes investing in new finance systems and related support systems. These investments mean that, increasingly, the NAO's financial audits are relying on automated controls / IT dependent manual controls and supporting IT general controls, necessitating increased requirements for IT Audit to support the NAO's audits of financial statements. The IT Audit specialist will be joining an IT audit team of 21 including other IT Audit Specialists, IT Audit Managers and Trainees to deliver work across multiple clients covering all areas of the NAO's financial audit client base. The team is led by an IT Audit Director and five IT Senior Audit Managers. We require an experienced IT Audit Specialist capable of supporting financial audit teams and IT Audit Managers to scope, plan and perform the hands-on delivery of all end to end IT audit work required for a client, including testing automated and supporting General IT Controls. We also require the candidate to be involved in other internal aspects of our IT audit practice work, including the development of practice material e.g. work programmes, guidance material etc. Given the likely engagements on which they will work, it would be helpful for the candidate to have experience in some or all of the following areas: • SAP finance systems (including ECC and S/4 HANA); • Oracle finance systems (including eBS and Fusion); • Active Directory; and • System migrations. On non-client work: • Given that there are a range of tasks that the candidate could be asked to work on, the candidate must have the skills and experience to be able to move from a client focussed IT audit testing role to an internal material development role. • As the candidate will be engaging directly with and producing client facing and internal facing written material, they must have strong verbal communication and report writing skills. The preferred candidate is likely to be an experienced Senior Consultant or equivalent, with experience of IT audit work, close to promotion to a managerial role, and is capable of working independently and taking ownership of the day to day delivery of all end to end IT audit work. Responsibilities / Relationships: Introduction Key responsibilities will be supporting the IT Senior Audit Managers and IT Audit Managers in the scoping, planning and delivery of the annual programme of IT audit work.

Development of IT Audit within the NAO • Identify opportunities to improve the quality, efficiency or value of the work performed by the IT Audit Team. • Support the development and training of IT audit trainees and other IT audit colleagues through sharing your knowledge and experience. • Ensure you remain up to date with IT Audit Team and its sub-team activities, initiatives, priorities and those relevant to NAO internal practice networks. • Maintain the relationship between the IT Audit Team and internal FA teams, internal practice networks, and external clients/stakeholders.

Demonstrable experience in Oracle (including Fusion) and SAP (including S/4 HANA) systems would be of particular interest. • An IT audit qualification (e.g. CISA) is preferred, but evidence of strong practical experience of delivering IT audits in support of the financial audit is more important than a qualification. • A formal finance qualification would be an advantage. Attributes Intellectual curiosity, especially about technology and business process related matters. Trusted to work independently as well as co-operatively and collaboratively as part of a team to deliver a team effort and quality work. Drive and determination to overcome obstacles, resistance or challenges in order to achieve goals. Commitment to personal development and keeping technical skills up to date.
