3) Coordinate Technology and Cybersecurity Assurance

  • Maintain a good appreciation of technology, cybersecurity, data and other emerging digital risks relevant to CSA's operating environment.
  • Work closely with GovTech and other specialist assurance providers on technology and cybersecurity audits, including providing relevant business and risk context and understanding the implications of audit results for CSA.
  • Consider technology and cybersecurity assurance results as part of Internal Audit's overall assessment of CSA's governance, risk and control environment, and identify potential assurance gaps where appropriate.

4) Drive Transformation and Champion Innovation

  • Collaborate closely with the Ministry Group Chief Internal Auditor (GCIA) to strengthen internal audit processes and support conformance with the Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS).
  • Champion the adoption of digital tools, data analytics, and continuous auditing methodologies within CSA Internal Audit to enhance audit effectiveness and efficiency.
  • Establish and lead CSA Internal Audit transformation initiatives in alignment with GCIA frameworks and Ministry-wide initiatives.

5) Team Leadership and Development

  • Build, lead, and develop a high-performing IA team with strong business audit, analytical, stakeholder management and data analytics capabilities.
  • Mentor and coach IA officers in modern audit methodologies and facilitate professional development opportunities.
  • Foster a culture of continuous learning and adaptation to emerging audit practices in alignment with GCIA transformation goals.
