JOB DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------
Position: Auditor
Location: Stamford, Connecticut, US
Type: Permanent F/T
Closing Date: 03/26/2005
There are separate teams responsible for auditing
the activities of each of the main operating Divisions, an IT Audit group,
which is responsible for IT applications and infrastructure audits across
all the Bank's divisions in addition, we have the Corporate Centre audit
groups of the Chief Risk Auditor and the Chief Financial Auditor. The heads
of each of these Divisional and functional teams report to the Head of GIA
who, in turn, reports directly to the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The approach to audit work is risk oriented, and resources are allocated to
cover the key risks in the business and IT areas. The department has
established standard procedures for audit techniques and documentation of
work papers, and the audit process is highly automated. The work of GIA is
actively supported by management, and the independent assessment of the
quality of internal control is viewed as an important contributory function
to the quality of management services. We seek to add value to the quality
of these controls by making constructive recommendations with cost effective
solutions.
The Senior IT Application Auditor role is a very interesting and challenging
role. The role is based within the IT Application Audit team, which is
primarily responsible for providing IT Audit support for business audits and
global pre-implementation reviews. The role will be within the Investment
Banking team and therefore the candidate will potentially get good exposure
to all systems and processes, within all sections of Investment Banking
(Front to Back) as well as covering all product areas, including Equities,
Fixed Income, Rates, Currencies, Derivatives, etc.
The role provides a great opportunity for the candidate to get a good
understanding of the bank and should provide an excellent base for a long
and successful career within the Bank, either within GIA or the wider
business. All IT auditors are encouraged to develop their technical and
personal skills through on the job training, and the attendance of both
internal and external training courses. The role currently involves between
10-15% travel, and this is not expected to increase in the foreseeable
future. However, for candidates who wish to travel there is opportunity for
more travel.
