Internal Audit Leader

As an Internal Audit Leader, you will help advance Booz Allen’s internal audit capability by helping develop a modern, risk-based audit approach across key business processes, including finance, procurement, human resources, and operations.

You will serve as a key contributor to the continued evolution of internal audits using data analytics, automation, and AI.

You will support the ongoing maintenance of the internal audit universe, ensuring that business processes, organizational changes, emerging risks, prior audit results, regulatory developments, and management input are reflected in the annual risk assessment. You will help develop the annual audit plan and recommend engagement priorities and resource requirements. You will partner with process owners, leadership, and other stakeholders to build trusted relationships and evaluate control effectiveness.

You will identify gaps, assess root causes, recommend improvements, and help guide the development of sustainable remediation plans and enhanced business processes. As a senior member of the internal audit function, you will monitor the timely resolution of audit findings, elevate significant or overdue issues, support audit quality and continuous improvement activities, and contribute to the development of team members and audit methodologies.
