Are you an Internal Audit professional seeking to broaden your experience? Are you looking for an adventure? How about living within a thriving community, set in a stunning natural environment? If so, come and join our small friendly team in the beautiful Falkland Islands.

The Falkland Islands is a British Overseas Territory, with internal self-government (except in two areas – foreign affairs and defence). As the largest employer in the Falkland Islands, the FIG offers many unique and fulfilling job opportunities, across the full spectrum of public services. Their responsibilities include those typically managed by central government – taxation, legislation and policy, as well as those usually managed on a local level such as town planning, health and social services, and education.

The Role – Internal Auditor

The Internal Auditor is expected to support the Chief Internal Auditor in the delivery of the audit plan by performing risk-based audits across the government’s services and providing assurance to key stakeholders. There will also be a need to conduct ad-hoc reviews and investigations as required. You will work in a team of three in total and there will be opportunity to gain experience in a broad range of audit work.

We are seeking:

  • Internal audit experience.
  • A recognised internal audit or accounting qualification (IACert, CIA or AAT) or be a part–qualified Accountant
  • Good, confident interpersonal skills.

The Falkland Islands’ stunning natural environment provides an unspoiled landscape and amazing wildlife to observe and explore, including penguins, whales and dolphins, all seen from the shore. For those with a sense of adventure, it provides opportunities which are hard to match anywhere else in the world.
