As an Audit Analyst you’ll support the delivery of high-quality audits. You’ll apply your knowledge of audit methodology to evaluate and test the design and operation of key controls.

  • Help deliver the audit plan and add valuable insights to the business to support them in achieving the right outcomes for customers.

  • Develop an understanding of the areas of the business that you are auditing using your existing knowledge of the Insurance, Pensions and Investments industry.

  • Develop and build stakeholder relationships.

  • Actively role model the Group values and behaviours.

  • Proactively own and drive your career development opportunities.

  • Create a positive learning culture, coach and support less experienced members of the audit team.  Provide timely and effective feedback to support their development.
