Internal Audit, Compliance and Legal – Vice President, Dallas

In Internal Audit, we ensure that Goldman Sachs maintains effective controls by assessing the reliability of financial reports, monitoring compliance with laws and regulations, and advising management on developing control solutions.

Goldman Sachs Internal Auditors demonstrate strong risk and control mindsets, analytical thinking, professional skepticism, and the ability to challenge and discuss effectively with management. We look for individuals who enjoy learning about audit, business functions, and apply creative analytic techniques, build relationships, and thrive in teamwork in a fast‑paced global environment.

As the third line of defense, Internal Audit’s mission is to independently assess the firm’s internal control structure, including governance processes, risk management, and anti‑financial crime frameworks. In doing so, we communicate and report on the effectiveness of controls, raise awareness of control risk, assess the firm’s control culture, and monitor management’s implementation of control measures.
