Have you ever considered becoming an internal auditor? It’s far more than checking figures—it’s about uncovering insights, strengthening organisations, and helping to shape sound decisions. For curious, analytical minds, internal auditing offers outstanding career prospects, including opportunities for international travel, all while making a real impact.

You’ll be mentored by experienced auditors while building strong foundations in audit principles, methodology, and business operations. If you’re inquisitive, analytical, and ready to challenge how things are done, this could be the ideal first step in your career.

The Role

As an Internal Audit Graduate, you’ll support the Internal Audit Manager in delivering audits across a wide range of business areas. You’ll be involved in every stage of the audit process, from planning to reporting, while also helping to manage audit systems and documentation.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

Supporting the delivery of audits, including process, governance, and risk reviews.
Assisting with special investigations and unplanned reviews.
Managing audit documentation and ensuring compliance with internal standards.
Tracking and following up on agreed actions from completed audits.

Building strong relationships across the business and contributing to discussions with senior management.
Challenging processes constructively and suggesting improvements to strengthen controls.
Translating procedures into process maps to support operational understanding.

This is a hands-on graduate role offering real responsibility and valuable exposure from day one.
