Senior Auditor

4 weeks ago

Edinburgh, United Kingdom Audit Scotland Full time

**Are you an auditor who thrives on making a difference and passionate about ensuring public services are run properly for the people of Scotland? If so, we can offer you the chance to take an exciting new step in your career with the opportunity to lead financial audit work of organisations across Scotland’s public sector including the Scottish Government, NHS bodies, councils, and colleges.**

**Overall purpose of the role**

You will conduct and manage financial audit work. You will make audit judgements and oversee the work of the team to deliver our audits to a high standard. You’ll engage with clients and stakeholders to help support improvement and focus upon what’s important.

We have six Senior Auditor roles available across our Audit Services group. These will either be located within a specific Audit Team, or form part of a new Support Team who will work flexibly across the business group to provide resilience and additional support where required.

**What you will be doing**

You’ll be inspiring with your ability to:

- Make professional, evidence-based judgements and identify potential recommendations.
- Work with colleagues to decide the breadth and depth of auditing required in proportion to the circumstances, including the audit methodology.
- Take lead responsibility for planning and delivering audits or key audit areas, to time, cost and quality (depending on the size and risk-profile of the audit).
- Draft clear, authoritative, concise audit outputs.
- Support senior leadership in promoting our work externally.
- Establish and maintain relationships with officers at audited bodies and appropriate stakeholders to support the effective delivery of audit work.
- Coordinate the work of staff across the audit to manage peak period workloads.
- Undertake supportive conversations with your team and positively challenge where necessary.
- Support the development of Audit Scotland’s work programme by sharing intelligence whether based on local audit knowledge, monitoring key public sector issues or by developing stand-alone briefings.
- Contribute to the management of Audit Scotland by participating in and contributing to corporate activities.

Once you have demonstrated expertise in this area, you’ll have opportunity to progress your career and:

- Take risk-based decisions about the audit approach and breadth and depth of auditing required in proportion to the circumstances.
- Make complex audit judgements and lead the team to make audit judgements and strategic recommendations based on all the evidence collected.
- Prepare and finalise audit outputs and be responsible for the content of the finished products.
- Be responsible for planning and delivering audits to time, cost and quality standards. This includes responsibility for all elements of managing an audit, including resourcing, cost monitoring (and taking appropriate action), impact work and supporting media enquiries.
- Identify, build and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders and proactively use these networks to add value to our work and reputation.
- Provide leadership, build capacity and resilience in the team and motivate, support and develop people to achieve their full potential.
- Line manage staff, actively managing their development and addressing performance issues.
- Maximise the impact of our work, including presenting and promoting audit outputs and findings at the highest client and stakeholder level e.g. the Scottish Parliament or Accounts Commission, governing boards, audit committees or external stakeholder events.
- Be responsible for identifying lessons learned to improve audit quality and efficiency and, where appropriate, share these across the organisation.
- Lead on distinct areas to support the development of Audit Scotland’s work programme.
- Contribute to the management of Audit Scotland by promoting, contributing to and, where appropriate, leading on corporate activities.

**Knowledge and experience**

You will be a fully qualified accountant (CIPFA, ICAS, other CCAB, or equivalent) or exam qualified and awaiting logbook completion before the end of March 2024. Preferably you will have practical experience of delivering high-quality audits, ideally in a public sector environment. Those without recent audit experience will be expected to build up their audit skills as a key part of the role.

You’ll undertake professional and personal development to maintain technical expertise, meet CPD requirements and enhance your career prospects at Audit Scotland.

Self-aware in your own abilities, you can plan and manage your own work. You will have well developed auditing, accountancy and analytical skills. You will have the ability to convert your analysis into clear judgements backed up by clear recommendations for improvement. You know how to work seamlessly within an audit team and help to bring out the best in your colleagues, mentoring and coaching where necessary.
