About the role
An internal control officer checks that banking processes operate as designed and that exceptions are identified early. The panel wants evidence-based testing, sound judgement, independence and persistent follow-up of corrective actions.
How to prepare
- Review control objectives for cash, account opening, transaction authorisation and reconciliation.
- Prepare an example of an exception you traced from symptom to root cause.
- Practise explaining how you select samples and preserve evidence.
- Think through how you would respond to pressure from a senior colleague to soften a finding.
Common mistakes
- Checking documents mechanically without identifying the control objective.
- Closing a finding based only on management assurance.
- Confusing an isolated processing error with a systemic control weakness.
