Internal Audit Analyst

What We Do
As the third line of defense, Internal Audit’s mission is to independently assess the firm’s internal control structure, including the firm’s governance processes and controls, risk management and capital and anti-financial crime frameworks, raise awareness of control risk and monitor the implementation of management’s control measures.  In doing so, internal Audit:

• Communicates and reports on the effectiveness of the firm’s governance, risk management and controls that mitigate current and evolving risk
• Raise awareness of control risk
• Assesses the firm’s control culture and conduct risks; and
• Monitors management’s implementation of control measures

Goldman Sachs Internal Audit comprises of individuals from diverse backgrounds including chartered accountants, developers, risk management professionals, cybersecurity professionals, and data scientists.  We are organized into global teams comprising business and technology auditors to cover all of the firm’s businesses and functions, including global banking & markets, asset & wealth management, risk management, finance, cyber-security and technology risk, and engineering. 

Who We Look For 
Goldman Sachs Internal Auditors demonstrate strong risk and control mindsets, possess analytical skills, exercise professional skepticism and are able to challenge and discuss effectively with management on risks and control measures.  We look for individuals who enjoy learning about audit, businesses and functions, have innovative and creative mindsets to adopt analytical techniques to enhance audit processes, build relationships and are able to evolve and thrive in a fast-paced global environment.
