About the role
This is an executive assurance interview covering how you set internal audit's direction, protect its independence and communicate with the audit committee. The panel wants evidence that you can focus scarce resources on material banking risks, uphold audit quality and secure credible action on findings.
How to prepare
- Prepare to explain how you translate an enterprise risk view into a flexible audit universe and plan.
- Choose an example where your team uncovered a systemic issue rather than a single control exception.
- Review your approach to audit quality reviews, evidence standards and finding validation.
- Think through how you report themes, accepted risks and overdue actions to an audit committee.
- Prepare a workforce plan covering specialist skills, succession and the selective use of external support.
Common mistakes
- Describing the audit plan as fixed when banking risks and business priorities can change quickly.
- Measuring success by completed audits without discussing the quality or impact of assurance.
- Compromising independence to preserve relationships with senior management.
