Arrow Corporate Auditor
An opportunity has arisen to join the Corporate Audit function of Arrow, a global US-listed Fortune 150 technology company with revenues of over $28Bn, headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Arrow provides products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components as well as enterprise computing solutions.
This role sits within the APAC Corporate Audit team and is primarily based in Singapore, although audit engagements and projects will be executed throughout the APAC region. Arrow Corporate Audit’s mission is to deliver responsive risk-based audit and advisory services in a spirit of partnership with objectivity, fairness, transparency, and in accordance with our professional and ethical standards to our stakeholders. This role is instrumental in achieving that mission.
Within Arrow, Auditors are the business facing ambassadors of Corporate Audit and are charged with helping to deliver our audit and advisory services across our global organization, address all areas of enterprise risk management (strategic, financial, operational, compliance, and reputational), and have a key role in establishing the team culture. They demonstrate knowledge of key aspects of the Internal Audit process, control evaluation and testing methodologies, and other Financial and Operational Internal Control methodologies and terminology (e.g., COSO).
Arrow’s Corporate Auditors are a crucial business partner to Arrow businesses, departments, and other key stakeholders. They execute high quality value-adding projects in a professional, detailed, diligent and collaborative manner. They are credible and are able to communicate complicated issues and the concept of risk and risk management to non-finance based individuals as well as senior executives and business leaders throughout the Arrow organization.
Arrow Auditors are agile thinkers and are able to react, adjust their project scope and procedures and problem solve where required. They are able to see the wider-risk and form an opinion on the level to which it is mitigated. They are able to execute a bespoke engagement to deliver specific assurance on a stated goal and they do not rely on thoughtlessly executing a standard, repetitive work program.
Consequently, Arrow Auditors are a highly prized team-member, whose experiences, feedback and input are invaluable to the function as it seeks to constantly evolve, improve and provide gold-standard audit projects to the business.
