Internal Auditor – Internal Audit Service / 100% / Permanent Contract
The internal audit service reports hierarchically to the Chairman of the IMAD Board of Directors and functionally to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

The internal audit function strengthens IMAD’s ability to create value and work towards its protection and sustainability by providing the Audit Committee and management with independent, objective, and risk-based assurance, insight, and foresight.
