Job Description

A bit about the role

• Your main focus will be completing FinCrime audits at Wise. You will contribute to the planning, fieldwork, reporting and follow-up of audits, and make recommendations to improve governance, risk management and internal controls. Your

will vary audit-to-audit and will include contributing to the development of the audit test plan, owning the execution of testing for specific scope areas, and completing issue validation testing.

The role

presents a great opportunity to focus on the development and delivery of audit engagements in a fast-paced environment, focussed on data-driven and innovative audit techniques.

Your mission

• Support the execution of audit engagements per the audit plan, ensuring timely and high-quality audit outcomes.

• Develop deep FinCrime technical expertise across regulatory requirements, risks and typologies, processes, systems, and controls, applying technical insight to elevate our audit approach.
• Monitor the implementation of Internal Audit recommendations and measure the effectiveness of the improvements.
• Develop strong relationships with key stakeholders.
• Support the implementation and operation of the internal audit assurance framework, including development of continuous monitoring and automated audit routines.
• Actively contribute to building a robust and self-sufficient internal audit team.
• The role

is London-based, but many of our teams are located across different office locations. You will travel as needed to meet your objectives.
