Job description
Citibank UAE's audit coverage runs across Risk, with this role also contributing to cross-discipline audits throughout the bank. You participate in and lead UAE audits, drafting audit reports, presenting issues to the business, and working through practical, sustainable solutions with stakeholders.

Audit and regulatory issue validations, risk assessments, business monitoring and governance committee reports all form part of the regular workload. Professional judgement gets applied throughout, evaluating risks, forming audit conclusions and escalating significant risks where needed. Internal Audit standards, policies and regulatory requirements guide the work, with timelines and budgets tracked to keep audit assurance timely and effective. You help build out data analytics and AI tool usage to strengthen audit efficiency and coverage over time. Strong stakeholder relationships underpin the role, with independent challenge and risk-based insight offered as a trusted advisor across the business.
