Audit & Risk Recruitment
are delighted to be partnering with a FTSE-listed business based in Manchester. Our client is building a new Assurance function and has been recruiting for teams in internal audit, risk management and controls. This role sits within the 2nd line of defence and will cover responsibilities within the disciplines of risk management, internal controls and assurance. This is a great opportunity for an experienced Internal Controls professional or a first/second mover from a top accounting practice to join a growing team in a growing company and enhance their future career prospects.
Key responsibilities will include the establishment and maintenance of a new risk and control framework, and the subsequent roll-out through the business through training, workshops and collaboration with business stakeholders. You will contribute to enterprise risk management activities, including reporting to the Audit & Risk Committee. You will also be tasked with assurance activities, such as control testing, reporting and supporting internal audits. Process improvement will be another key responsibility, driving efficiency and the streamlining and automation of controls.
The ideal candidate will be ACA/ACCA qualified and have a background in internal controls/SOx or internal audit, preferably gained from a top accountancy practice. You must understand the distinctions between 1st, 2nd and 3rd line of defence and be able to explain this in a professional setting.
