Internal Audit

What We Do
As the third line of defense, Internal Audit’s mission is to independently assess the firm’s internal control structure, including the firm’s governance processes and controls, and risk management, capital and anti-financial crime frameworks , while also raising awareness of control risks and monitoring the implementation of management’s control measures. In doing so, Internal Audit:

• Communicates and reports on the effectiveness of the firm’s governance, risk management, and controls that mitigate current and evolving risks,
• Raises awareness of control risks,
• Assesses the firm’s control culture and conduct risks; and
• Monitors management’s implementation of control measures
  

Goldman Sachs Internal Audit is comprised of individuals from diverse backgrounds, including chartered accountants, developers, risk management professionals, cybersecurity and technology professionals, and data scientists. We are organized into global teams comprised of business and technology auditors to cover all the firm’s businesses and functions, including securities, investment banking, consumer and investment management, risk management, finance, cyber-security, technology, and engineering risks.

Who We Look For
Goldman Sachs Internal Auditors demonstrate strong risk and control mindsets, are analytical, exercise professional skepticism, and are able to effectively challenge and discuss risks and control measures with management. We look for individuals who enjoy learning about audit, business operations and the technologies that support business functions, are actively cultivating an innovative mindset to enhance audit techniques through the use of creative and analytical solutions, have experience building strong relationships with audit partners and stakeholders, and are able to evolve and thrive in a collaborative and fast-paced global environment.

Core Engineering- Technology Audit

The Core Engineering audit team performs reviews of technology risks and controls within a challenging, dynamic and complex business and technology environment. The team covers core technology infrastructure platforms (cloud computing, database and big data), end user platforms (desktop, collaboration, e-Mail/messaging, web and mobile technologies), enterprise platforms (software development/SDLC, identity access management, job scheduling and workflow technologies) and production operations (on-premise operating systems and other centralized production systems). A strong background in technology engineering and a proven technology audit background are necessary. Experience in cybersecurity is a plus.
