GOAL NGO - Internal Auditor - North and South Sudan
GOAL NGO - Internal Auditor - North and South Sudan
General Overview/Description of the Role
Stakeholders including; trustees, employees, donors and the public expect those charged with governance of the charity to manage the significant risks the charity is facing and to put adequate controls in place to deal with these. These risks encompass risks related to charitable operations, as well as risks related to compliance with laws and regulations and financial reporting.
Good governance, by its nature, demands effective systems of internal control and a charity's system of internal controls therefore has a key role in the management of risks that are significant to the fulfilment of its charitable objectives. A sound system of internal control contributes to safeguarding all stakeholders and the charities assets.
A charity's objectives, its internal organization and the environment in which it operates are continually evolving and as a result, the risks it faces are continually changing. A sound system of internal control therefore depends on a thorough and regular evaluation of the nature and extent of the risks to which the company is exposed.
Since quality programs from which beneficiaries will benefit are, in part, the reward for successful risk-taking by charities; the purpose of internal control is to help manage and control risk appropriately, rather than to eliminate it.
The purpose of internal audit within GOAL is to work with senior management to continually review and develop sufficient systems of internal control in order to manage the respective risks that the charity faces thereby protecting all stakeholders.
