Head of Audit - About The Role
In this autonomous role as the Head of Audit, you will wield the reins to implement and refine your own procedures, exercising a high degree of independence and strategic influence. You will review policies and procedures, streamlining and optimising where possible. Collaborating closely with the Head of Compliance and Audit Partners, you will contribute to the establishment and maintenance of best practices within the firm.
It is important to note that this position differs significantly from a technical support role - there is no client portfolio management involved and the role does not revolve around fee generation. Instead, it presents a unique opportunity for an experienced Audit professional to influence and enhance the auditing function within a Top-25 firm.
Responsibilities will include:
Develop and implement new audit guidance and templates in response to standards and review findings
Communicate effectively on all audit compliance aspects across the firm
Conduct hot and cold audit file review and coordinate the annual cold review process
Analyse root causes and implement corrective measures
Review the firm’s System of Quality Management under ISQM
Act as the primary liaison with the ICAEW on audit compliance matters
Oversee audit training, CPD requirements and compliance
Plan and execute on-site audit due diligence visits for acquisition and mergers
Report findings and make recommendations to the Audit Compliance Principal/Audit Committee
The successful Head of Audit will have:
Significant experience operating at Audit RI or Audit Senior Manager level within a UK Practice
Strong technical accounting skills across different accounting frameworks (FRS 102, IFRS, UK GAAP)
Comprehensive awareness of audit ethics and standards
Sound knowledge and understanding of Auditing Standards and Audit Methodology
Experience with CCH Auto Automation is beneficial but not essential
