What this job is
Internal Auditors examine whether an organisation is following its own policies, meeting legal obligations, and managing risk in a sensible way. They test financial records, interview staff, review internal controls, and write reports for senior management or audit committees. The work is investigative by nature. You are looking for gaps, weaknesses, or patterns that could expose the organisation to financial loss, fraud, or regulatory trouble. Unlike an external auditor who visits once a year, an internal auditor is embedded in the business and may run multiple reviews at once across different departments.
