Auditor- Goal

Auditor

General Overview/Description of the Role

Stakeholders including; trustees, employees, donors and the public expect those charged with governance of the charity to manage the significant risks the charity is facing and to put adequate controls in place to deal with such risks. These risks encompass risks related to charitable operations, as well as risks related to compliance with laws and regulations, and financial reporting.

Good governance, by its nature, demands effective systems of internal control and a charity's system of internal controls therefore has a key role in the management of risks that are significant to the fulfilment of its charitable objectives. A sound system of internal control contributes to safeguarding ALL stakeholders and the charities assets.

A charity’s objectives, its internal organization and the environment in which it operates are continually evolving and, as a result, the risks it faces are continually changing. A sound system of internal control therefore depends on a thorough and regular evaluation of the nature and extent of the risks to which the company is exposed.

Since quality programs from which beneficiaries will benefit are, in part, the reward for successful risk-taking by charities; the purpose of internal control is to help manage and control risk appropriately, rather than to eliminate it.

The purpose of internal audit within GOAL is to work with senior management to continually review and develop sufficient systems of internal control in order to manage the respective risks that the charity faces thereby protecting all stakeholders.

Responsibilities:

• Review Internal Audit Plan for 2009/2010 with CFO and Audit committee, and decide on prioritisation of field sites based on risk assessment.

• Provide recommendations to Country Director (CD) and Field FC, where necessary, on improvements to be made in systems and controls.
• Discuss findings of audit with CD and Field FC in advance of finalising Audit Report and incorporate their comments.
• Report to Audit Committee on findings in formal Audit Report. Follow up on recommendations made in the Report with CD and Field FC to ensure they have been implemented.
• Conduct any ad-hoc audit or financial investigation assignments at the request of the Audit Committee.
• A principal focus of the work will be to assess how efficient budget management and monitoring is in each field.
• A principal focus of the work will be to review systems of control around the use of cash in field offices.
