What you’ll be doing

You’ll assess the adequacy and operating effectiveness of our processes and controls for identifying, analysing, and managing key risks.

You’ll ensure that audits in the Annual Internal Audit Plan are delivered according to our Internal Audit Procedures, which includes validating the control framework through independent review/audit of relevant documentation like Policies, Protocols, Processes, Procedures, and Underwriting Guidelines.

You’ll liaise with key stakeholders to plan and scope assigned audits using the Brit Internal Audit Procedures. This involves an independent review of the Group Risk Register, prior internal audit reports, and other relevant resources to confirm your understanding of the business.

You’ll produce planning documentation for all audits using templates in place and in agreed formats, including preparing a Risk and Control Matrix and supporting working papers to create a comprehensive audit file.

You’ll conduct audit fieldwork in line with Brit Internal Audit Procedures, applying audit techniques such as interviews, meetings to evidence controls, detailed substantive work, or controls testing.

You’ll record the results of all testing to a clear, concise, and “reperformable standard” in the Risk and Control Matrix. An independent reviewer should be able to understand what has been tested, why, how, and when without needing to query you. The test results should be documented to a standard that can be used to update the Group Risk Register and populate the audit report.

You’ll negotiate acceptance of findings and actions with Management and produce Internal Audit reports to a professional standard for distribution to Management, the Executive, Non-Executive Directors, External Auditors, and potentially external parties like the PRA, FCA, and Lloyd’s.

You’ll liaise with Management for ongoing oversight and monitoring of agreed audit actions, performing a sense check of the information/evidence supplied by the business to confirm completion of the action point.

You’ll agree on the statement of work with the third-party co-source audit partner and the Group Head of Internal Audit and the Operational Head of Internal Audit before the audit work commences.

You’ll manage the third party to ensure that the audit and required deliverable meet Brit Internal Audit’s expected standard and stay within budget.

You’ll provide ad hoc advice to the business on matters of policy, procedure, risk mitigation, and controls, including expert knowledge and service as required to implement the Group Strategy.

You’ll assist the Head of Operational Internal Audit and the Senior Internal Audit Manager in planning the audit timetable for the forthcoming year, including audit selection criteria.
