For our Senior Auditor vacancy within the Risk and Compliance domain we are looking for a new colleague at our Amsterdam based office. Our Senior Auditor provides assurance by conducting audits (e.g. regulatory, governance, capital, liquidity credit, financial, operational) across all entities of the LeasePlan Group, including LP Global Risk Management, LP Global Compliance, and other Group-wide support entities. Aim is to provide insight to the Managing Board, Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board, the European Central Bank and External Auditor via audit reports, as well as specific assignments related to being a financial institution and related banking and insurance regulation.

  • As such, the Senior Auditor is in principle traveling up to 10-12 weeks per year to the LeasePlan entities, as well as conducts audits at LP Global. The Senior Auditor assesses the control level of key processes by discussions during interviews and testing identifying internal control deficiencies, operational risks, compliance issues with Group policies or local laws/regulation and related risks and discussing preliminary findings with Middle and Executive Management.
  • The Senior Auditor independently manages the audit area within the overall audit scope, presents the preliminary outcome to local management and updates the manager in-charge on identified findings. The auditor can act as team member and sometimes as manager-in-charge of a complete audit team in case of smaller assignments.
  • All stakeholders and the entity/process owner depend on the right judgement of the Senior Auditor in recognising (or missing) control deficiencies for specific parts of the audit and where acting as manager-in-charge also for the overall outcome.
  • Is on a continuous basis able to identify control gaps in the different governance, risk, compliance, financial, insurance, operational and IT processes and translates these control gaps into tangible recommendations for improvement.
  • Evaluates across highly diversified end-to-end processes the identified control gaps in combination with well-functioning controls and determines, together with more experienced team members based on professional judgement if the overall existing control level is sufficient, including an audit opinion.
  • Is able to quickly establish a positive working relationship with all levels in the organisation to enable in-depth assessment of controls in processes, often involving several departments, local executive management, middle management and operational employees. In this capacity notices responses and adapts communication style to suit the situation.
  • Assesses the control environment of different processes and departments and independently concludes on the level of control. Is, supported by more experienced team members, able to bring a sensitive message including high risk findings as well as improvement points in a constructive manner, while being challenged by senior management.
  • Based on close cooperation with the rest of the LeasePlan organisation updates the audit work-programmes, challenges and discusses the policy with the policy owner. Acts as subject matter expert within the team, aimed at for instance training other team members and assesses the resolution of audit findings implemented by the entities.
