Company

Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory (BOT) lies in the Leeward Islands of the Eastern Caribbean, some 48 km (30 miles) south west of Antigua. Montserrat has a population of around 5,000 people. On 18 July 1995, the previously dormant Soufrière Hills volcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. It has been relatively quiet since early 2010 and continues to be closely monitored by the Montserrat Volcano Observatory.

The Internal Audit Section (IAS) within The Ministry of Finance is still very much in its infancy and in order to strengthen the IAS we are seeking a dynamic person to lead its development so as to create an effective public sector internal team, carrying out internal audit across the public sector organisations and principally the Government of Montserrat.
