Skills
Whilst an audit (IIA) or accountancy (CIA, CMIAA, ACA, ACA or CIMA) qualification is highly desirable, the role of an internal auditor is a diverse one and if you have a particular set of skills or experience that could benefit our business then we may well have a role for you in Internal Audit!
