About The Position

The IT Auditor supports risk-based IT audit and process assessment engagements across technology-enabled business processes.

The auditor works with business and IT stakeholders to understand process objectives, map workflows, identify risks and control gaps, and recommend practical improvements that strengthen risk management and improve process efficiency.

The IT Auditor leads audit planning and execution, documents testing and findings, prepares audit reports and other working papers, and communicates progress and issues to management. The role also supports post-audit follow-up, coordinates with external auditors, manages project timelines, and may oversee auditors on a project basis.
