Auditor careers
An Auditor reviews the financial information of a business or organisation. You’ll analyse documents like bank statements and data from financial systems to ensure information is accurate and check for any discrepancies. After reviewing all available data, auditors will prepare a report on their findings. You might also make recommendations on any improvements that may be needed to current accounting systems.
An Auditor needs to have a strong understanding of accounting practices and be able to use a range of financial systems and software. You’ll need to have excellent attention to detail and be able to recognise when there are issues with the information presented. Auditors need good communication skills and must be able to prepare detailed financial reports.
