What else would you like us to know that we haven't asked? What Were Looking For Core Audit Experience: Candidates must have hands-on, risk-based audit experience. Were seeking professionals who truly identify as auditors and have performed actual auditsnot just risk management, information security, or third-party vendor assessments. The candidate must have the ability to design and execute control testing scripts independently. Red Flags in Resumes: Be cautious of candidates whose job duties focus primarily on implementing controls, third-party vendor assessments, liaising with managers, or audit readiness assessments. These often indicate compliance or assessment backgrounds, not core audit skills. Audit Issue Follow-Up: Candidates should have experience with risk-based audits and/or audit issue follow-up work, ideally in large, complex organizations. Preferred Backgrounds: o Internal auditors from large tech companies, financial services, or healthcare organizations. o External auditors from Big 4 firms may be a fit, but please clarify their practice area (we prefer those with more complex engagement backgrounds). o Avoid candidates from small audit shops or those with only compliance assessment experience. Seniority Considerations: Were looking for candidates who have been there, done thatnot those seeking their first big role, nor those whose careers have plateaued at a high level for many years.
