• You will support the Group Chief Internal Auditor and be responsible for performing financial, operational and compliance audits of Credendo Group companies and subsidiaries, with the aim of strengthening the effectiveness of inspections across various group procedures.
• You will assist the Group Chief Internal Auditor in defining, prioritising and implementing the internal audit plan, adopting a risk-based approach which covers financial, operational, regulatory and IT aspects.
• You will take independent responsibility for complex, high-visibility auditing tasks, including defining the scope, assessing risks, performing the work, formulating supported conclusions and presenting the results to governance bodies.
• You will perform regular follow-ups of internal audit recommendations at group level and coordinate follow-ups with local teams and, where relevant, external or local auditors.
