As a member of the Risk Management Team, the Audit and Compliance Specialist is required to develop policy, service levels and standards in regard to the Internal Audit service provision across the organisation. A key focus will be to manage the internal audit contract and be responsible for overseeing a third party to ensure audit preparation, audit coordination and ensuring successful audit outcomes with all key stakeholders. You will also assist with personally undertaking a number of additional internal compliance audits/reviews of work area systems, processes, and controls and providing appropriate recommendations. You will monitor and report on key findings and the implementation of all audit recommendations.
