The role calls for a practitioner who can manage internal audit, enterprise risk and controls advisory engagements end to end, supervising fieldwork and acting as the principal day-to-day client contact across regulated and listed United Kingdom entities. The successful candidate will plan risk-based audit programmes, review working papers rigorously and translate findings into recommendations that satisfy audit committees and regulators. Specific qualifications, regulatory fluency and technical breadth are detailed in the sections that follow.

  • Apply the UK Corporate Governance Code, including its audit-committee and internal-control provisions and the 2024 update, to audit scope.
  • Supervise, coach and review the work of audit seniors and associates to maintain quality and consistency.
  • Identify governance & controls improvements and present clear, actionable findings to management.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

  • A recognised professional qualification such as ICAEW ACA, ACCA, CIPFA or equivalent, ideally complemented by CIA.
  • Typically eight or more years of internal audit, external audit or risk advisory experience, with a meaningful portion at manager level.
  • Strong working knowledge of the Global Internal Audit Standards 2024, the three lines model and COSO internal control frameworks.
  • Sound command of FCA and PRA expectations, including SYSC and operational resilience.
  • Familiarity with the UK Corporate Governance Code, including the 2024 update and its internal-control provisions.
  • Practical experience of SOX/ICFR scoping, walkthroughs and controls testing.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent engagements, budgets and deadlines.
  • Excellent report writing and the ability to communicate findings persuasively to senior stakeholders.
  • Awareness of UK GDPR obligations as they affect audit scope.
  • Membership of, or active engagement with, the Chartered IIA and ISACA is welcomed.

Preferred Experience:

  • Prior experience within a professional services or accounting firm delivering co-sourced or outsourced internal audit.
  • Exposure to FCA or PRA regulated clients, including banks, insurers or asset managers.
  • Experience with IT internal audit, cyber risk reviews or data analytics applied to audit testing.
  • Involvement in operational resilience or SYSC-driven controls programmes.
  • A track record of coaching and developing high-performing audit teams.
  • CISA, CISM or CRISC certification alongside the core accounting qualification.
