Introduction

JSE Internal Audit (IA) has adopted and strives to comply with the International Professional Practices Framework of the Institute of Internal Auditors. In line with the definition of Internal Auditing, the JSE IA team is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve the JSE’s operations. It assists the JSE in accomplishing its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of risk management, control, and governance processes. As a Senior Internal Auditor, your role will be to assist the unit to meet the requirements of the above definition through effective end-to-end execution of risk-based audit and consulting engagements and ad hoc investigations. JSE IA comprises a small permanent team, supplemented by co-sourced skills from relevant third party service providers such as PwC, Deloitte and other specialist firms. As a senior internal auditor, you will be required to manage relationships with the people who work in the team and you will be required to manage the outputs of the trainee internal auditors assigned to assist you and to give feedback to them and the Head: Internal Audit on their performance. Given the small size of the team and of the JSE, an extensive part of your role will be to perform actual fieldwork on IA assignments, in addition to planning audits and preparing detailed reports on fieldwork findings.
