Summary
Internal Audit contribute to the Environment Agency's vision to “Create a better place for people and wildlife” by reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of corporate governance, risk management and internal control. Our audits cover a diverse range of services, which we sometimes visit in person and our auditors really enjoy the variety this gives.
The role is required to deliver a suite of Internal Audits from our annual plan. You will be expected to deliver audits from the start to finish, including planning and scoping risks, writing a terms of reference, writing and delivering a testing plan, holding an exit meeting and reporting your findings.
