These are scheduled so that some will overlap so that two assignments may be open at the same time, closing one and planning another, an Audit Manager will be able to manage both successfully. Responsibilities Preparation of planning material to ensure that the internal controls covering the key risks are appropriately tested in order to provide reasonable assurance to the Board, Group Management, Entity Management and other stakeholders, including regulators, that an effective internal control environment exists. Overseeing the work performed for the audit assignment by other team members. Providing guidance and support to team members as necessary. Directing testing to cover key areas of risk and determine the scope and focus in agreement with the Audit Partner of the review, and share expertise in their area with other team members. Preparing draft Audit Findings for review by AD Management. The Audit Findings must be factually accurate and clearly communicate the findings and recommendations. The Audit Manager must clearly communicate the issues to AD Management and then to business Management including senior stakeholders. In doing so, the Audit Manager may experience some significant challenge and must therefore be resilient and articulate in their presentation of the issues. Preparing the final internal audit report. The report must clearly communicate areas of positive assurance as well as areas where improvement in the internal control environment is required. Undertaking follow-up and closure of internal audit recommendations. This process requires the validation of action taken by line Management for the closure of all High and Moderate Priority Findings and the provision of assistant and guidance to Management. The Audit Manager may be also asked to assist the Audit Partner with maintaining relationships with Senior Management (D, ED and MD level) in a nominated area of responsibility, have insight into business activities and be able to comment on key areas of risk for those business areas.
