Job description

We are looking for an IT Auditor on a contract basis to help strengthen internal control environments across our organization. This position is suited for a detail-oriented individual who can guide audit fieldwork, evaluate risk, and communicate practical recommendations to business and audit leaders. The role offers the opportunity to oversee audit execution, support staff during engagements, and contribute insight on IT controls, compliance, and operational effectiveness.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead IT audit engagements from planning through completion, setting priorities based on risk and defining the focus areas for each review.

  • Direct day-to-day audit fieldwork by assigning tasks, tracking progress, and providing guidance to team members throughout the engagement lifecycle.

  • Create and refine audit programs, timelines, and budgets to support efficient execution and timely delivery of audit objectives.

  • Examine work papers and supporting documentation to confirm audit activities meet internal standards and clearly support conclusions reached.

  • Develop clear audit reports that summarize observations, control concerns, and recommended actions for audit leadership and business stakeholders.

  • Facilitate discussions with management at the beginning and end of audits to confirm scope, address significant issues, and align on corrective actions.

  • Assess the design and effectiveness of IT controls and provide informed perspectives on the strength of the internal control environment.

  • Stay current on audit practices, regulatory expectations, emerging technology risks, and relevant technical developments to enhance audit quality.

  • Contribute to special projects, process improvement efforts, and audit-related software support activities as requested by audit management.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field such as information systems, accounting, finance, or business.

  • At least 3 years of experience in IT auditing, including work with information systems controls and risk-based audit practices.

  • Hands-on knowledge of ITGC, IT controls testing, and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance reviews.

  • Experience operating at a senior auditor level with the ability to coordinate assignments and support less experienced staff.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present findings and recommendations to management.

  • Well-developed analytical, organizational, and interpersonal skills, along with a customer-focused approach to stakeholder interactions.

  • Proficiency with standard business software, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
