Internal Auditors are highly skilled and experienced professionals who may come from a variety of
backgrounds. Applicants who do not have an accounting or business background would be expected
to have undertaken further study and qualifications in the area of Auditing.
When undertaking audits, they need to be able to evaluate risks to the business and what is being
done to manage that risk effectively. Accountants also perform financial auditing tasks which are
distinct from the audit tasks of an Internal Auditor. An Internal Auditor works independently of the area
or organisation being audited and the scope of audit includes review of the management system,
human resources, work processes etc., besides the financial systems.
Applicants with an internal auditing role as well as other responsibilities within the organisation would
need to demonstrate that their primary role is that of the Internal Auditor. Applicants should include
detailed position descriptions and organisational structures which demonstrate the scope and level of
responsibilities as an Internal Auditor. Information such as a company overview is also useful to
provide the assessor with a clear picture of the nature of the business and their need for an Internal
Auditor role.
The reference letter from employers should include detail of the audit tasks undertaken. In particular,
details such as the specific areas being audited, how often these are audited and the scope of the
audits conducted, as well as who the applicant reports to, the nature of the reports they present, how
often this is undertaken.
