  • Conduct training workshops to promote awareness of internal controls, fintech security standards, and policy updates.
  • Participate in policy and procedure development and operational improvement initiatives.
  • Provide an evidence-based annual opinion on governance, risk management, and internal control effectiveness.
  • Promote high ethical standards within the organisation, upholding integrity, objectivity, competence, and confidentiality.
  • Assess corporate risk strategies, anti-fraud policies, IT security strategies, and regulatory compliance specific to the fintech industry.
  • Review significant partnership arrangements, third-party service providers, and cloud-based financial technology platforms to ensure strong controls are in place.
  • Prepare and present internal audit reports with actionable recommendations tailored to fintech-specific risks.
  • Report on internal control issues and monitor the implementation of audit recommendations.
  • Enhance fraud detection and prevention mechanisms within digital transactions and improve financial controls against emerging cyber threats.
  • Establish systematic risk identification, analysis, and communication processes to support fintech innovation while mitigating security risks.
  • Coordinate with external auditors and regulatory bodies to ensure seamless execution of statutory financial audits and compliance assessments.

Core Competencies:

  • Strong knowledge of IT and business process integration, particularly within fintech environments.
  • Expertise in financial, fraud, and cybersecurity risk management.
  • Excellent communication skills, with confidence in engaging senior management and regulatory authorities.
  • Effective leadership and team management abilities.
  • Strong analytical skills and business acumen, with an understanding of fintech industry trends.
  • Ability to balance "big picture" thinking with detailed risk mitigation.
  • Highly focused, proactive, and professional approach.
  • Independent, objective, and ethical in decision-making.
  • Adaptable and able to manage change effectively in a fast-paced fintech environment.
  • Self-motivated and action-oriented.

Skills and Experience Required:

  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Internal Audit, or a related field (Essential).
  • Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) qualification (Essential).
  • 3–5 years of relevant experience in internal auditing, financial risk management, or compliance auditing, preferably within the fintech or financial services industry.
  • Strong IT auditing skills, including experience with internal control frameworks and cybersecurity audits.
  • In-depth knowledge of financial regulations applicable to fintech, including AML, FICA, PCI-DSS, and POPIA.
  • Hands-on experience in fraud detection, transaction monitoring, and fintech risk assessments.
  • Strong report writing and presentation skills tailored to fintech compliance and risk management.
  • Proficiency in audit and risk management tools, data analytics for fraud detection, and fintech security software.
