Job summary
About Government Internal Audit Agency
We are an executive agency of His Majesty’s Treasury (HM Treasury), established in April 2015 to improve the quality of internal audit provided to central government.
Most of the Agency’s people are professionally qualified internal auditors, accountants or investigators.
Many are also specialists in areas including counter fraud, project management, digital and commercial audit.
We lead both the Government Internal Audit Profession and the Government Internal Audit Function.
Our workforce brings with it a unique depth of experience gained in a wide range of government departments, related bodies and other sectors.
This enables us to offer a high-quality service based on cross-government insight and a strong understanding of our customers’ business.
In GIAA, we aim to be a great place to work and to ensure that we have the capability and capacity to make even more of a significant contribution to achieving A Brilliant Civil Service over the coming years.
Our initial focus was on becoming “a single audit practice”. We are now focused on taking GIAA to the next level so we can provide better insights and better outcomes for government.
Job description

This is an exciting time to join the GIAA. The introduction of our Audit Response Team (ART), alongside our embedded customer-facing teams, means we can elevate our impact across UK central government by ensuring we are responsive and agile whilst also continuing to meet our customers’ needs.

For our customer facing roles you will work closely with a single customer, developing a detailed and deep understanding of your customer’s activity and learning about their business. Identifying key stakeholders and building effective and productive relationships are also vital aspects for these roles.
With access to high profile work, you will work alongside key decision makers, audit specialists and private sector contractors within the Agency, challenging and developing your skills as well as ensuring we meet our customers’ expectations.
These roles are an ideal opportunity for career development, with opportunities for progression within the Agency and the wider civil service, enabling you to develop a broad career base gaining experience of building and maintaining strategic relationships at the most senior levels.

As a member of our ART team, you will also have access to dedicated, bespoke development programmes to support you to get up to speed, and you’ll work closely with all our high-performing and highly supportive teams where you will have the opportunity to expand and enrich your skills.
Customer Facing Team:

Successful candidates may be offered the opportunity to work in our specialist audit teams (Digital, Data & Technology, Programme & Project Management, Commercial, Grants and Data Analytics) if, during the recruitment process, they're identified as having the relevant skills and experience.
We are mainly recruiting to fill roles in the Audit Response Team through this campaign.
