Are you a motivated and enthusiastic individual looking for an opportunity to further your career in internal audit? If so, this could be the role for you!
Due to the continued expansion of the Southern Internal Audit Partnership (SIAP), we are looking to recruit an Audit Manager to join our growing team.
The Southern Internal Audit Partnership (SIAP) provide internal audit and consultancy services to a wide and growing portfolio of public sector partners and clients in the South of England. We pride ourselves on delivering an innovative, customer focused service aligned to the business needs of our clients and to achieving improved outcomes.
This is supported through our recent External Quality Assessment conducted by the IIA that confirmed our compliance against all aspects of the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS.)
In joining SIAP, you will be responsible for the management and development of an assigned team and for delivery of a portfolio of internal audit and advisory reviews to a professional standard.
You will prepare reports attending Partner Audit Committee(s) as required and liaise with a wide range of Partnership stakeholders in the effective and timely delivery of audit plans.
As an Audit Manager, you will hold a CIA / PIIA / CCAB qualification with significant post qualification experience. You will have experience and a good understanding of the risk-based approach to internal audit to enable you to prepare partner and clients’ annual audit plans, approve terms of reference prior to issue, quality review audit working papers and review all draft and final reports to ensure that a high-quality product is consistently delivered.
To maintain a healthy work/life balance you will have the flexibility to work from home or from the office (whilst meeting business needs) in the delivery of your portfolio of work. We also offer part time opportunities and operate flexi time to allow employees the opportunity for a flexible approach to their working hours.
You will be eager to learn, determined and adaptable and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills – both oral and written. With the ability to absorb information quickly, you will also be able to identify and analyse problems in a logical and effective way. You will be able to inspire and lead your team and above all, you will share our passion to support and add value to our partners and clients in ensuring that they have effective risk management, governance, and control mechanisms in place.
