Liaise with engagement teams on monitoring findings, tracking remediation actions and escalating recurring or significant issues to the Director group

Ethics & Independence

Act as the primary point of contact for queries relating to the ICAEW Code of Ethics, ethical standards for auditors and the PCRT
Manage the firm's independence policies, including the register of financial interests, prohibited services and fee dependency monitoring
Advise on conflicts of interest and maintain the firm's conflict checking procedures
Oversee compliance with the HMRC tax adviser registration regime, including identifying relevant persons, monitoring ongoing eligibility conditions and maintaining registration records

Audit Standards & Technical Development

Training & Awareness

Design and deliver compliance and technical CPD for Partners and team members, covering audit monitoring findings, ethics, regulatory updates and emerging requirements

Reporting & Leadership

Let's talk about you and your skills...

Hungry for a new challenge, you'll have these essentials:

Significant post-qualification experience in a practice environment, including a compliance, risk or quality management role
Strong working knowledge of ICAEW practice assurance and audit requirements and ISQM 1 / ISQM 2
Demonstrable experience of technical audit monitoring or file review, including identifying findings, root cause analysis and driving remediation
Sound understanding of the ICAEW Code of Ethics, ethical standards for auditors and PCRT obligations

Pragmatic and solutions-focused, balancing regulatory rigour with commercial awareness
Exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills

Experience of preparing for and managing ICAEW practice assurance monitoring visits
Experience of designing or managing a firm-wide technical audit monitoring programme, including reporting to leadership on outcomes and improvement actions
Previous involvement in delivering compliance training or CPD
