Job Details

One of the world’s leading universities is looking to recruit a Head of Internal Audit to lead a small team of experienced auditors, reporting to the Vice-Chancellor and Audit Committee.

You will manage the University's Internal Audit Service which adopts a modern risk-based approach to internal auditing and is committed to performing its work in conformance with the definition, code of ethics and international standards of the CIIA. You will be exposed to the University’s full range of administrative and operational activities, systems and processes.

This is a truly fantastic opportunity to have a scope which is as challenging as it is rewarding giving you and the IA team team the ability to be able to target work where it is most needed, to deliver value in all the right places and to really influence the strategy and operation of the University, and the people who drive it.
