Post Title: Senior Internal Auditor
Job Number: 878648
Work type: Full time Non Exempt
Location: Bristol
Background Information:
Computershare EMEA Internal Audit is part of the broader, global
Computershare Risk & Audit team with personnel located in each of the
primary Computershare regions.
The Global Risk & Audit team is responsible for planning and conducting
internal audits, facilitating the risk management process for the business,
managing fraud investigations, and leading the strategy on Business
Continuity. Internal Audits can involve
reviews of business lines, functions, products or services and make
recommendations to improve risk management, efficiency and internal control.
There is a role opportunity at the Senior Internal Auditor level within the
EMEA Internal Audit team.
Main Purpose of the Role
Contributing to, and performing, audit reviews of business departments,
processes, products, or functions with a view to improving controls, increasing
efficiency and decreasing risk.
This is a high profile role. Audits are designed to help the business achieve
their objectives by providing focussed review and consultancy. All of our work is planned in conjunction
with Business Management and is focussed on the highest priority areas.
This is not a typical Internal Audit role. There is minimal financial auditing,
minimal ticking and bashing and limited travel. Our focus is on business risks
– e.g. technology, operations, commercial, regulatory, legal, people, and
strategic risks. You will need a good
understanding of these, and be able to apply them to your audit reviews in the
context of the company's risk appetite.
Person Specification
You will need to build and maintain relationships with senior management,
and be able to demonstrate that you can see the bigger picture. This is crucial to maintain their trust in
the Internal Audit team as key partners to the success of the business. We are not just delivering a watching /
policing role.
You will need to have good communication and negotiation skills, in order
to influence management effectively.
You will need to have a good eye for the commercial impact and practicality
of controls, bearing in mind the entrepreneurial culture of Computershare.
