IT Audit

ASA’s Big 4 client is seeking to recruit a Risk Advisory Manager for their Edinburgh or Glasgow office’s.

Working within their Insurance and Investment Management Business advisory group, this is an extremely diverse consulting opportunity which will see the successful candidate working on engagements such as those outlined below:

·-External Audit Support. We complete both IT General Controls (ITGC) reviews and Business process reviews for Financial Services clients in the Insurance and Investment Management (I&IM) sectors. This requires developing an understanding of the risks facing the client and an understanding of what controls can mitigate those risks. As a result, Risk Assurance Services specialists develop a detailed knowledge of I&IM clients from both an IT and business point of view.

·-Internal Audit Advisory Services. We provide internal audit support to a number of clients via co-sourcing (where we work alongside their internal audit team) or outsourcing arrangements (where we deliver the entire internal audit programme for the year) . We also provide training and advisory services to Internal Audit functions such as reviewing the effectiveness of an Internal Audit Function.

·-Non Financial Reporting Assurance. In an environment where clients are increasingly requiring assurance over non financial data and systems we work with our clients to understand and perform non audit assurance engagements to provide internal and external stakeholders comfort over non financial information. These engagements could include assessment of conformity with Hedge Fund Standards, assessment of the confidentiality and security of personal information, or compliance to Environmental Regulations.

·-Third Party Assurance Services. The trend to outsource certain business processes has become ever more popular in recent decades and this popularity is likely to continue as more and more organisations recognise the value of buying-in resources as and when required. We provide independent assurance that those services that are provided to our clients are performed and handled in a controlled and effective manner (e.g. SAS70 and AAF01/06).

·-Technology Assurance. We provide a wide range of Technology Assurance services for our clients, including IT security, IT service management, user access and entitlement management, controls over enterprise business systems, business continuity planning / disaster recovery planning, and end user computing.

Must have’s:

·-Experience in Risk consulting - either internal or IT audit

·-Specialist experience in Financial Services - preferably insurance, investment management

·-Relevant tertiary qualifications and have gained or be working towards your ACA and/or CISA certification.

·-You should be flexible and be prepared to travel to some extent both in the UK and overseas, and work to tight deadlines, when necessary.

·-Other relevant preferable competencies include SOX, IFRS, US GAAP
