The internal audit function at ESSSuper is, primarily, intended to give the Board, Finance and Governance Risk & Compliance Committee (GRCC) and Management assurance that that ESSSuper possesses an adequate system of risk management, internal controls, and procedures. The internal audit team should have, or achieve, an understanding of the business and the operations of ESSSuper. It is the intention of ESSSuper that the successful tenderer will partner and assist ESSSuper in the goal of building a fund our members and stakeholders can be proud of, including a suite of new products and services.

The successful Internal Auditor must provide a successful and value-added service by being proactive and using their initiative, knowledge, and experience in the superannuation industry. They must also be able to communicate effectively with Management, timely and constructively.

The successful Internal Auditor may be requested to conduct (as required by the Legal, Risk & Compliance Team, GRCC or Board) other reviews or investigations from time to time. Any such services would be scoped, subject to conflict review and separate negotiation of fees and services each time. The Internal Auditor may also be invited to provide a competitive tender for specific independent reviews not scoped as part of the annual Internal Audit Plan
