Careers

Internal Audit provide an independent, objective assurance and consulting service designed to add value and improve Partnership’s operations.  It helps Partnership accomplish its objectives by bringing a systematic, disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes.

Partnership’s Internal Audit performs audits of activities where the associated risks are significant and could impact on the survival and prosperity of Partnership if they are not effectively managed and controlled. The scope of our audits extends to considering all types of risks, and not just financial, that could impact adversely on Partnership achieving its business objectives.  

Our audits identify and assess the adequacy of controls established by Management through observation and discussions with staff and subsequent testing to confirm the effectiveness of the controls. The results are discussed with Management and a report is produced stating our opinion on the adequacy of the policies, procedures and controls established by Management. Where applicable the report will note findings and actions to enhance controls.

Internal Audit may also be requested by senior management to undertake ad hoc reviews and special investigations. 

In order to perform their duties Partnership’s Internal Audit staff are required to possess or be studying for relevant professional qualifications.  This primarily will include those available from the Institute of Internal Auditors - UK and Ireland and the accountancy profession.

Performing audits at Partnership provides Internal Audit staff with the opportunity to work with staff at all levels and divisions of the company.  The Internal Audit team is highly respected and the Board values Internal Audit’s contribution to ensuring that Partnership has effective risk management, control and governance processes.
