6-month contract | Fully remote | Part-time
We are working with a well-established UK charity to recruit an experienced Interim Head of Internal Audit for an initial six-month contract.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who can bring a pragmatic, collaborative and business-partnering approach to internal audit. Rather than simply identifying risks and control weaknesses, you will work closely with teams across the organisation to understand how functions operate, improve processes and develop practical recommendations that work within the culture of the charity.
A key initial priority will be supporting a review of the fundraising function, alongside helping shape and deliver the wider internal audit programme.
Key responsibilities
- Lead and deliver the organisation’s internal audit programme.
- Undertake a key fundraising audit, reviewing processes, risks, controls and ways of working.
- Review functions across the organisation and identify practical opportunities to strengthen procedures and improve effectiveness.
- Work as a trusted business partner to senior leaders and operational teams, providing constructive challenge and support.
- Develop clear, proportionate recommendations that recognise the organisation’s culture and operating environment.
- Track audit recommendations and support teams with their implementation.
- Provide assurance and reporting to senior leadership and relevant committees.
- Help further develop the organisation’s approach to internal audit and assurance going forward.
About you
We are looking for an experienced Internal Audit professional who:
- Has strong experience delivering risk-based internal audits, ideally within a charity or not-for-profit environment.
- Has experience reviewing fundraising operations or other complex operational functions.
- Takes a pragmatic, solutions-focused approach rather than focusing solely on governance and controls.
- Is an excellent business partner, able to build relationships and bring people with them.
- Is culturally aware and able to adapt their approach to different teams and stakeholders.
- Can operate independently and confidently engage with senior leadership.
- Ideally holds a relevant internal audit or accounting qualification such as CIA, MIIA, ACCA or CIMA.
This is a fully remote six-month assignment offering the opportunity to make a tangible impact on how internal audit supports and adds value across the organisation.
Thank you!
