In compliance with the International Professional Practices Framework as defined by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA), Internal Audit is an independent and objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve the firm's entities' overall operations. The Internal Auditor is a key member of the internal audit team. He/she will participate in the performance of audits globally, specifically focusing on fieldwork, risk assessment and testing the internal control environment, and in the review of business processes and internal controls using a risk-based audit methodology.
The Internal Auditor will analyze data, facts, and test results to draw appropriate conclusions regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of the Audited Unit's internal controls and communicate control weaknesses directly to the Audit Team Management. The Internal Auditor will develop and write up audit findings and make recommendations for review by the audit engagement in-charge (Senior Auditor or Audit Manager), and by the Senior Manager. Those recommendations mitigate weaknesses identified in the systems, processes and controls of the firm's corporate functions and its affiliates, and they help the firm improve the effectiveness of its processes. The role also involves preparing written audit reports for senior management and following up on the implementation of past Internal Audit recommendations.
