Tabby seeks an Internal Audit Lead to lead end-to-end audits across finance, treasury operations, and financial risk management (credit, capital, liquidity). This role owns audit engagements from risk assessment and scoping through issue validation and stakeholder engagement, ensuring alignment with Central Bank of UAE (CBUAE) expectations, IFRS standards, and internal policies.
Key responsibilities include leading and delivering audits across financial reporting, accounting, liquidity management, funding, investments, payments, and tax processes. You will independently plan audit engagements, evaluate compliance with IFRS and CBUAE regulatory requirements, review treasury frameworks (cash management, FX exposure, hedging strategies), and monitor developments in financial reporting standards and fintech trends. The role requires assessing the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal control frameworks, and tracking remediation of external audit observations.
A critical component is applying advanced data analytics to identify anomalies, emerging risks, and control weaknesses. You will leverage data models, dashboards, and automation tools to enhance audit planning, execution, and continuous monitoring, driving a data-driven audit approach that improves efficiency and insight generation. You will contribute to developing the risk-based audit plan, incorporating thematic reviews and continuous auditing techniques.
You will ensure audit activities align with CBUAE regulations and internal governance frameworks, assess financial risk management practices, and provide forward-looking insights on emerging risks. Strong stakeholder management is essential—you will report findings to the Head of Internal Audit, prepare high-quality audit reports, communicate effectively to senior management, and influence timely remediation of findings.
Required: 7+ years in internal audit, external audit, or financial control within banking, fintech, or financial services. Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or related field. Professional certifications (CPA, ACCA, CA, CIA, CISA) strongly preferred. Strong technical expertise in finance, accounting, treasury, IFRS, and CBUAE frameworks. Demonstrated experience leading audits across financial reporting, treasury, liquidity, and financial risk. Knowledge of COSO frameworks and risk-based auditing. Proficiency in data analytics tools (SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau). Excellent analytical thinking, communication, and stakeholder management skills. Ability to operate independently, manage priorities, and deliver in fast-paced environments. High professional skepticism, integrity, and attention to detail. Fluent English required.
