SQL shouldn't just support the audit. It should uncover what the audit might otherwise miss.
Is this you?
Naturally curious and analytical, you enjoy getting beneath the surface of complex data. You connect technology, controls and financial outcomes, communicate confidently with technical and financial stakeholders, and bring sound judgement, accuracy and an uncompromising approach to audit quality.
What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it)
Working across IT Audit, data analytics and financial audit support, you'll interrogate large datasets using advanced SQL, validate and reconcile complete populations, and identify anomalies, unusual transactions and control weaknesses. You'll perform ITGC and ITAC testing, analyse ERP and financial-system data, and turn findings into clear audit conclusions. You'll enjoy the variety, from SQL-based audit testing and Excel analysis to Power BI visualisation and stakeholder engagement, while increasing audit coverage and reducing manual testing.
Where you'll be doing it
Join an established, multidisciplinary professional services firm with local and international reach. Collaboration, learning and individual contribution are valued, while technology, data and analytics play an increasingly important role in delivering assurance and risk advisory work.
What you'll need
Bring 3+ years' relevant audit, technology risk or data analytics experience, genuinely advanced SQL capability and practical ITGC/ITAC exposure. You'll need a relevant degree and experience with large transactional datasets and ERP platforms such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or Sage. CISA progress, Power BI, Python, Alteryx, IDEA or Arbutus would strengthen your application.
What you'll get
A specialist opportunity combining advanced SQL, data analytics and IT Audit, with exposure to complex engagements, varied stakeholders and the chance to help develop reusable, data-driven audit methodologies.
