About Our Team

We have an exciting opportunity to join HMRC's Financial Controls Assurance Team (FCAT).

You will work in a fast-paced demand-led environment, building relationships, and providing specialist process risks and controls advice and assurance on HMRC processes to administer UK taxes, duties and benefits.

This role gives an outstanding opportunity to develop key leadership, assurance and collaboration skills.

FCAT is part of Risk, Control & Financial Accounting Directorate within the HMRC Chief Finance Officer Group. The Directorate's vision in relation to assurance is to help steer HMRC towards a better understanding of its key risks and to ensure these are well controlled.

We are a small geographically-dispersed team whose remit extends across all HMRC taxes, duties and benefits processes, and all corporate processes which ultimately lead to payments in/out, or entries in the published HMRC financial statements.

We work collaboratively with HMRC's Business Groups and Change teams to embed, assure and improve financial controls standards. We provide expert advice and challenge to help keep HMRC safe – by assuring that robust financial controls, including segregation of duties, are designed and operating in processes and systems to mitigate fraud, error and money laundering risks.

Most of the team's work is focused on the various taxes, duties and benefits that HMRC administers. We cover all processes in the ‘customer journey' including registrations, returns/declarations/claims, payments in, payments out, penalties, interest and debts.

The scope of our work excludes financial management (forecasting, budgeting, monitoring expenditure etc).

Job description

Our exciting and interesting role would suit anyone who wants to work in a very busy and dynamic demand-led environment with a desire to develop their knowledge of HMRC's systems, processes and controls.

The successful candidate will join the FCAT Change Assurance Team and they will:

• Work with an assigned portfolio of higher risk and complex Change projects with differing timelines and live implementation dates.

• Be responsible for providing expert advice, challenge and assurance to Change teams in their assigned projects to ensure HMRC standards for controls and segregation are embedded into the design of new and changing systems and processes.

• Influence Change projects to meet standards for controls and segregation before their live implementation dates, and escalate instances of non-compliance promptly.

• Provide support to team colleagues where needed, including cover during leave periods.

The role will involve some travel with occasional overnight stays and may include HR management responsibilities in the future.

Person Specification

The successful candidate will be a highly motivated self-starter who embraces change and thrives on working in a fast-paced, dynamic demand-led environment.

You will:

• Pro-actively manage their own workload and responsibilities, demonstrating effective leadership to manage multiple deadlines and conflicting priorities to ensure Change projects meet HMRC controls and segregation standards before their live implementation dates.

• Have highly developed interpersonal skills and emotional intelligence, with evidence of excellent influencing in a large dispersed organisation.

• Thrive on collaborating with team colleagues and Change teams across HMRC at a variety of grades, influencing stakeholders and building effective relationships to ensure robust controls and segregation are delivered in new/changing systems and processes.

• Be resilient when faced with work pressures and challenge, and confident in situations where there is no existing clear precedent, understanding both the detail and the bigger picture.

• Have an inquiring mind and apply strong analytical/evaluation skills to understand new processes and systems without prior knowledge, identifying risk exposures / control weaknesses and working collaboratively with Change teams to agree solutions.

• Be an excellent and credible communicator - proficient at simplifying complex concepts, tailoring communications to fit the audience and presenting facts (including assurance results) and recommendations verbally and in clear, succinct and persuasive papers.

• Take pride in their work and seek to continually improve team processes and enhance the HMRC standards for controls and segregation.

The successful candidate is expected to:

• Remain in post for a minimum of 2 years.

• Complete Government Counter Fraud training on Fraud Risk Assessments.

Essential Criteria

Knowledge/experience of one or more of the following:

• Risk Management in processes/systems.

• Process controls and assurance.

• Risk and Control Frameworks.

• Internal Auditing.

• Segregation of duties.

Desirable Criteria

• Membership of the Government Counter Fraud profession.

• Experience of working collaboratively across grades and business areas in geographically dispersed teams.
