What's the role?

Internal Audit‘s mission is to provide independent and objective assurance to add value and improve operations. We serve as one of Bloomberg’s critical lines of defence to protect our value and enable growth for a fast-paced technology company. Internal Audit partners with teams and leadership to mature Bloomberg’s control environment, focusing on risk-based and practical recommendations. Internal Audit continuously evolves the audit model adapting to leading practices, innovation and an agile working model.

This role supports audits of Bloomberg’s global business, products and services, with a focus on evaluating internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR), corporate service process and controls, and IT general controls. Our risk-based audit plan will also provide you the opportunity to develop audit programs for evolving risks and new audit areas. This will involve partnering with audit team members and cross-functional teams to evaluate areas of governance and risk, make valuable recommendations on controls, and influence change. You will work closely with the audit team, internal stakeholders and external partners to perform testing, evaluate controls, and support the assessment of control frameworks.

Responsibilities:

- Execute audit activities using a combination of traditional and data-driven techniques to identify risks and areas for improvement.

- Perform audit testing over process-level and entity-level controls impacting financial reporting, ensuring alignment with frameworks such as COSO and PCAOB standards.

- Execute audit fieldwork using both traditional and data-driven techniques to identify risks and areas for improvement.

- Prepare clear workpapers, documentation, and evidence supporting conclusions and findings.

- Provide practical recommendations on the design and operating effectiveness of controls.

- Collaborate with management and stakeholders to track and support timely remediation of issues.

- Contribute to drafting audit deliverables summarizing findings, root causes, and recommendations.

- Stay informed on evolving regulations and industry best practices related to financial reporting risk.

- Support the continuous improvement of Internal Audit methodology, with a focus on efficiency and audit quality.

You'll need to have:

- Professional qualification or working toward one (e.g., CPA, CA, CIA, CISA).

- 3–6 years of audit experience, with exposure to financial controls and IT general controls.

- Experience working in a Big 4 accounting firm or internal audit function at a large technology or financial services organization.

- Strong knowledge of internal controls, internal control frameworks, and risk standards (e.g., COSO, ISO, NIST).

- Demonstrated professional judgment, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical findings clearly.

- Ability to work independently and as part of a team, managing multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.

We'd love to see:

- Experience with SOX compliance programs, including design, execution, and remediation oversight.

- Familiarity with assurance related work over software development, SaaS solutions, cloud, and data processes

- Working knowledge of the 2nd line of defence functions (e.g. compliance, risk management).

- A passion for learning and enthusiasm for innovation in a fast-paced environment.
