This is a DA audit-focused engagement for a genuine subject-matter expert, most likely someone at the very end of their career in Delegated Authority. Rather than a general oversight or advisory brief, the work centres on running DA audit and assurance processes hands-on, and using deep technical knowledge to identify where those processes themselves can be tightened and improved.
Responsibilities:
- Run and deliver DA audit processes directly – this is a hands-on audit remit, not a governance/advisory watching brief
- Apply deep, practitioner-level DA knowledge to test the effectiveness of existing controls and audit coverage
- Identify gaps, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement in how DA audits are currently structured and run
- Recommend and help implement practical improvements to DA audit process and methodology
- Provide the kind of scrutiny that only comes from having worked at the sharp end of DA for many years
Requirements
- This is a niche, senior-level requirement, the ideal candidate will be someone who has run DA audits and processes for years and knows the discipline inside out.
- Extensive, senior-level career in Delegated Authority, ideally including significant DA audit experience
- Deep, first-hand technical command of DA processes, controls, and audit methodology – not theoretical or purely oversight-level
- Comfortable rolling up sleeves and running audit processes personally, as well as advising on how to improve them
- Likely at the very end of their career, semi-retired, or already retired, but open to a limited, high-value engagement
- Available and willing to work flexibly on a part-time, consultancy basis
Benefits
Available and willing to work flexibly on a part-time, consultancy basis
