A key role in the accounting & finance sector, an auditor is responsible for checking and guaranteeing the accuracy of financial records held by an organisation. They will assess all financial activity, identifying any irregularities and ensuring the business is complying with the law.
Candidates can be hired for internal or external auditing jobs. An internal auditor works in-house for a company, supporting business objectives, while an external auditor is independent and usually appointed by stakeholders to provide objective assurances about regulatory compliance.
When looking to use an agency for this type of role, employers will typically choose accounting recruitment specialists, especially if the vacancy is within a chartered accounting firm. Businesses searching for internal auditors may also be interested in recruiters experienced in their particular industry.
