Audit Planning and Execution

• Develop and execute a risk-based annual audit plan, using the risk registers maintained by department heads where available and the team's own risk assessment to cover gaps.
• Take management's areas of concern into account, and prioritise audit work by the impact and likelihood of the risks involved.
• Lead operational, financial, procurement, inventory and process audits across business units and sites, while taking part in day-to-day fieldwork.
• Assess the adequacy and operating effectiveness of internal controls, not only whether policies and procedures exist.
• Carry out risk-based testing of key controls across functions, at least quarterly for the highest-risk areas.
• Assess write-off assets, finished goods inventory and raw material stocks.
• Apply data analytics to procurement, inventory, pricing and yield data to detect anomalies, in addition to sample testing.
• Perform frontline checks at sites and operating locations, including stock counts and process walkthroughs, with travel as the work requires.

Reporting and Follow-up

• Review and finalise audit working papers and reports for quality, accuracy and consistency.
• Agree corrective actions with management, set owners and due dates, and keep a single tracker showing ageing and repeat findings.
• Re-test corrective actions on higher-risk findings before closure.
• Provide a regular internal audit update to the General Manager, including status of the audit plan, key findings and overdue actions.
• Escalate significant matters, suspected fraud and material control failures promptly to the General Manager, and support the preparation of significant event reports.
• Coordinate with external auditors and other assurance providers as required.

Fraud and Investigations

• Conduct or support investigations into suspected fraud, misconduct and control breaches, working with HR and Legal where appropriate.
• Preserve evidence, maintain confidentiality and document facts objectively.
• Receive and triage whistleblower reports and refer them to the appropriate investigation route.
• Identify control weaknesses revealed by investigations and recommend practical improvements.

Risk and Compliance Assurance

• Provide independent assurance over how risk management works in practice, including whether departments identify, assess and manage their key risks. Risk ownership stays with management and business unit heads.
• Review compliance with company policies and key regulatory requirements on a risk basis.
• Perform periodic risk-based reviews of operations, warehouses, procurement, logistics and distribution.
• Provide guidance to management on controls when processes, policies or systems are changed.

Team Building and Methodology

• Define the structure, capability needs and headcount of the internal audit function, and recruit, onboard and develop auditors.
• Build a succession pipeline and a culture of professional scepticism, integrity and continuous learning.
• Supervise, coach and allocate work across the team and across sites.
• Own the audit manual, working paper standards and report templates so that audit quality is consistent and does not depend on individuals.
• Run second-level review of working papers and reports, and carry out periodic self-assessment against IIA standards.
• Design and maintain an end-to-end audit process covering risk assessment, planning, fieldwork, reporting, management action, re-testing, closure and trend reporting.
• Identify capability gaps such as IT, data analytics or specialist technical skills, and propose training or co-sourcing.
• Build constructive relationships with management at all levels while keeping professional objectivity.
