Experience working in a Financial Services Internal Audit team and a proven ability to understand, assess, and describe risks and controls relevant to regulatory compliance and financial crime prevention. We seek a solid grasp of the key activities and methods used by an Internal Audit team, including identifying, assessing, and documenting risks and controls; designing and executing audit tests to evaluate the design and operational effectiveness of controls; and compiling findings to enable the business to implement appropriate corrective measures. Our team evaluates a wide spectrum of risk and control areas encompassing the entire regulatory conduct (non-financial compliance) and financial crime compliance framework. You should demonstrate familiarity with key concepts such as market, customer, and employee conduct, anti-money laundering controls, and economic sanctions. Ideally, you will have relevant experience or qualifications in these fields; however, it is essential that you show a strong awareness of current compliance and financial crime control issues and a keen interest in expanding your expertise in these areas. Excellent written and verbal communication. We work with business stakeholders at all levels of the organization so the ability to demonstrate a degree of gravitas and technical credibility, particularly when discussing complex topics, is essential. You will be educated to degree level or an equivalent professional qualification. Ideally, you will have completed a recognized relevant post-graduate qualification (e.g. CIA, CMIIA, ACA, ACCA, CAMS), but this is not essential and we'll be keen to consider candidates that can demonstrate their professional experience working in a financial services internal audit function, and possibly with direct experience of auditing compliance and financial crime controls.
