Job Overview

Barnet Council is seeking an experienced Internal Audit Executive to join its Internal Audit team within the Assurance & Public Protection Directorate.

The role will provide audit advice, assurance and risk-based internal audit support across a wide range of council services.

  • Support junior auditors and assist with their development
  • Represent the Assurance & Public Protection Directorate at internal working groups
  • Contribute to practical solutions for financial, legislative and operational issues
  • Participate in developing and delivering training for stakeholders
  • Undertake audit-related projects and investigations when required
  • Maintain links with the Corporate Anti-Fraud Team
  • Support value for money reviews where appropriate
