An Opportunity to Help Build a New Internal Audit Function From the Ground Up
A leading multinational group is establishing a brand-new Risk & Internal Audit Department — and this is your chance to be part of the founding team.
Working directly under an experienced Group Risk & Internal Audit Manager, you won’t just “do audits”… you’ll help design, shape, and build the internal audit framework for a complex, high-growth global organisation.
If you’re a curious thinker, a fast learner, and someone who wants to be part of something meaningful (not just tick-box auditing), this opportunity will give you exposure, ownership, and rapid career development.
Qualifications & Experience required:
A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Internal Auditing, or similar.
CIA qualification or currently studying toward CIA is advantageous.
1–3 years’ internal audit experience.
Solid understanding of accounting principles, IFRS, and risk & control frameworks.
Strong computer literacy (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) and ideally some exposure to data/visualisation tools.
Key Responsibilities:
Assist in setting up the audit structure, methodology, and frameworks.
Meet with business units to understand processes and document key audit information.
Assess risks, controls, and audit objectives for each business area.
Conduct internal audits in line with the audit plan.
Prepare audit working papers, including:
Business process walkthroughs
Process flow documentation
Identification of risks & controls
Recommendations and control improvements
Control testing & sampling
Draft and present audit reports to senior stakeholders.
Monitor and follow up on implementation of audit recommendations.
Contribute to policy and procedure improvements.
Support the continuous growth and evolution of the internal audit department.
Perform ad-hoc duties as required by the audit manager.
Why is this role different?
✔ You will work closely with leadership and gain a deep understanding of the group’s global operations.
✔ You’ll help create internal audit structures, processes, and reporting frameworks from scratch.
✔ The department is still growing — meaning your ideas will matter, and you will directly influence how audit is done across the entire business.
✔ You’ll receive mentorship from a highly respected Risk & Internal Audit Manager.
✔ Open to candidates currently in Mauritius or professionals willing to relocate to Mauritius (visa & relocation support available).
Send your CV, academic transcripts, and a short motivation explaining why you’re excited about joining a newly established internal audit function.
