  • Fluency with the Global Internal Audit Standards 2024, the three lines model and COSO internal control frameworks.
  • Experience acting as engagement partner with full responsibility for quality and risk.
  • Authority and gravitas to advise boards, audit committees and C-suite stakeholders.
  • Awareness of UK GDPR and SOX/ICFR obligations as they affect audit scope.
  • Active standing within the Chartered IIA and the wider professional community.

Preferred Experience:
