Job role

Audit is the home for those who dare to be curious and driven to dig for the truth when the answers do not seem right.

The Auditor acts as accepted advisor to the business with in depth experience auditing in the field of financial & operational topics.

Strong technical and ethical characteristics are fundamental to audit success.
