Audit RI

Description:

Most RI roles that reach the market are really about signing off someone else's files. This one is closer to owning the audit function.

An independent Central London accountancy firm is looking to appoint an Audit RI. They have a settled client base and a steady audit portfolio, and they want someone who will take responsibility for the quality of the work, develop the people doing it, and have a genuine say in where the department goes next.

It would suit an experienced Audit Director, Senior Manager or existing RI who has more capability than their current firm has room for.

The role

Acting as Responsible Individual across a portfolio of audits, from planning through to sign off

Setting the standard for audit quality and holding the team to it

File review, and being the person managers and seniors come to with the technical questions

Staying close to existing clients and getting involved in new work

Working with the partners on how the audit offering develops

What they're looking for

ACA or ACCA qualified, with UK practice audit experience

RI status already held, or a strong case for obtaining it

Confident on current ISA (UK) requirements and comfortable defending a file

Someone who wants to lead a team, not just carry a portfolio

What's on offer

Central London office, hybrid working

Scope to shape the audit function rather than inherit a fixed process

Direct partner contact from the start

A realistic route to partner for the right person
