Reporting to the Manager Internal Audit & Assurance, the Senior Assurance Advisor designs and undertakes audits and review across a range of business units, either as scheduled in the Internal Assurance Plan or ad hoc upon request. This includes the full scope of assurance activities from researching the function and industry standards and legislation, to fieldwork (interviews, document reviews, and testing of controls) to documenting and reporting findings to management. You will also provide assurance over programme delivery and achievement of benefits.

A key focus of your work will be identifying opportunities for improvement, with an emphasis on providing context and proposing solutions rather than just finding problems. Business change is delivered using Agile, and the scope to add value through assurance insights and data analytics continues to grow.

We offer a positive work environment, ongoing development, and exposure to the workings of a large and complex organisation. Now is a great time to join ACC.
