Internal Auditor

Location: Toronto, ON
Language: Strong written and verbal communication skills required
Duration: 6-month contract

About the Opportunity
We’re seeking two Senior Internal Auditors, Financial & Internal Controls to support a public sector organization with complex financial processes, systems, and reporting requirements. These roles are ideal for seasoned audit professionals who bring a strong accounting and finance foundation and can independently assess how controls are designed and operating across the organization.

You’ll work at the intersection of financial processes, systems, internal controls, and reporting, partnering with stakeholders to understand the broader control environment and identify meaningful opportunities for improvement. This is a financial and internal controls role with technology exposure, rather than a pure IT audit position.

What’s In It for You
• Work on complex, high-impact financial and internal control assessments
• Apply your expertise across business processes, systems, SOC reporting, and ITGCs
• Collaborate with experienced stakeholders in a large, multifaceted environment
• Bring an independent perspective to strengthening control design and effectiveness

Your Responsibilities
• You’ll assess the design of financial and entity-level controls to determine whether they appropriately address identified risks
• You’ll develop testing approaches and perform hands-on control testing to evaluate operating effectiveness
• You’ll review SOC reports, including SOC 1 and SOC 2, and assess relevant controls, exceptions, and implications
• You’ll evaluate ITGCs and understand how technology controls support financial processes and reporting
• You’ll identify control gaps and weaknesses, documenting clear findings and practical recommendations
• In this role, you’ll connect financial and business processes, systems, controls, testing, and financial reporting to assess the broader control environment

Skills and Qualifications
• 7+ years of progressive internal audit, financial controls, accounting, or related experience
• Strong accounting and finance foundation with significant hands-on internal control assessment and testing experience
• Demonstrated ability to assess control design and operating effectiveness, including entity-level controls
• Experience reviewing and assessing SOC reports, including SOC 1 and/or SOC 2
• Working knowledge of ITGCs within a broader financial and internal controls environment
• Experience with ICFR, SOX, SOX 404, or comparable financial controls frameworks is a strong asset
• Strong analytical, documentation, communication, and stakeholder management skills
