The remit for each client is wide-ranging and likely to encompass operational, clinical and financial aspects of each organisation. The postholder will therefore be required to have a broad technical grasp of internal audit practice, and of the types of risk and issues facing all types of NHS organisations and the wider public/third sector. All work must be undertaken in accordance with relevant professional standards in order to be able to provide accurate and incisive audit opinions that clients’ directors and Boards can act upon with confidence. Services to clients will largely consist of an annual programme of risk-based system audit reviews delivered in line with Global Internal Audit Standards. In addition, advice, support and guidance will also be required to be provided to clients regarding internal control and governance issues. Ad hoc reviews may also be commissioned by clients, some of which could relate to alleged serious irregularities (fraud, corruption, performance data modification etc.). The postholder will personally undertake technically complex reviews and assignments. It is expected that the postholder will operate with minimal supervision except in more challenging circumstances. ### Main duties of the job Risk-based audit reviews will be for the purpose of providing a professional assurance opinion on the ability of the systems in place to effectively manage the risks faced and achieve their objectives. Some will relate to critical systems where failure could lead to the client not meeting key duties and / or missing targets. All such work will therefore form an important part of the client’s performance management and risk management arrangements. Internal Audit reviews will be a primary source of independent assurance for client’s Board Assurance frameworks and their regulators. All work will be reported to relevant client managers and directors, sub committees of the Board (e.g. Audit and Risk Committee, Quality Assurance Committee) as well as to the Board itself in regard to matters of the highest importance, and annual reports such as the Head of Internal Audit Opinion. The postholder will be responsible for compliance (personally and via their team) with the Barts Assurance Internal Audit Manual, other relevant standard operating procedures and the Quality Assurance and Improvement Programme. The post holder may be required to supervise, support and train less experienced auditors (e.g. Finance Graduates Trainees temporarily seconded to internal audit, as required. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities The full job description provides an overview of the key tasks and responsibilities of the role, and the person specification outlines the qualifications, skills, experience, and knowledge required.
